Benny (formerly Lenny) officially has a new home as of today. I hoped and thought that they would make the final decision to adopt although I expected it after we returned from our trip rather than before. I'm thrilled regardless of the timing. He's still a work in progress and he may always be, but it's a good home for him and they are committed to making it work.As is so often the case, the other dog in the home was the key to making the adoption a reality. Benny needed a role model who was confident in home. Here it was Maya. In his new home it's a girl who looks very much like him, but is a little bigger, a little older, and much wiser.

| They share the bed nicely. Not sure where the humans sleep. |

| Lenny had been rather food aggressive here, but Benny waits for his sister to finish before he eats. |
 |
| He follows her everywhere and does what she does. She is exactly what he needed. |

| Both dogs sit and take treats simultaneously. |

| Benny has a home. |
Thank you again Brent for fostering Lenny and finding him his perfect home. He has come a long way from the dying puppy I rescued last summer. Here his role models were my GSD Levi and Chihuahua Hank. Though I never would have imagined he'd have had such a tough transition after leaving here, and I've second guessed many times sending him away for placement instead of keeping him, this beautiful happy ending is the hoped for reason I did. I am hopeful his adopters will be open to being in touch with me as he was one of the hardest of the hundreds I've rescued to let go.
