Benedict’s Second Gotcha Day!!
Benedict celebrated his second gotcha day recently! When I adopted him, he was a scared and severely reactive dog. With time, training, unconditional love, and a little extra patience he has blossomed into a silly and deeply loving dog.
He’s my first dog that isn’t a family dog. I adopted him while I was taking time off of grad school and now I just recently graduated. While he hasn’t been in my life long, he’s been there for so much. He was there when I said goodbye to my childhood dog, when I was losing my mind at a truly horrific job, he sat with me countless nights as I wrote my thesis and prepared to defend it. I’m so happy I decided to go meet him at the shelter on a whim. He’s truly the best part of everyday 💖
