A couple of days ago, Bennett's mom reached out letting us know that her sweet, precious boy crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He was such an incredible dog and it was always so obvious that he was his mom's whole world! How lucky was he to have known a love like that?! While it is very heartbreaking that he's no longer with her, we are glad to know that he lived THIRTEEN beautiful years of life and represented this breed to the fullest!
His mom wrote a little piece about him to share with us and you all:
"Bennett lived in five different states with me—two of which we returned to again—always my steady co-pilot. On road trips, he insisted on riding in the passenger seat in his little “car seat,” even when it meant squeezing in with his little brother, Gabriel. He loved visiting his Gram and Gramp and somehow always knew when we turned onto their street.
He was just as happy at the beach as he was playing in the snow, though rain remained his lifelong nemesis. Bennett made sure I was never alone in any room in the house and took his job very seriously—especially when it came to making sure I didn’t put on too much lotion (his “lick test” was thorough and consistent).
Bennett was the happiest boy, always smiling, always wagging his tail. Everyone who met him loved him instantly and deeply. For 13 years, he brought me endless joy, comfort, and happiness. He showed me what unconditional love truly looks like and was, without question, my very best friend."
Rest in love, handsome Bennett, and say hi to all of the other sweet 'Monticello Cavaliers' at the Bridge for us! 🕊
