One look into those big brown eyes and you'll fall for our featured member for November just like we have! Every bit as sweet as he looks, Ben (or Benny to his buds) can really turn on the charm - especially if you've got some sweets on you! Rumor has it he's particularly fond of ice cream, and he'll go into his juggling act to get some! He's talented too - he loves to catch, and he'll toss his toys (or remotes, or pillows, or magazines) into the air and catch them - while keeping one eye on you to see if you've been impressed enough to give up some of that ice cream!
Ben likes to help out around the Kramlich household in Bonney Lake, bringing in the mail and carrying things that Helen needs, and so it didn't take Helen and Stuart long to realize Ben's loving personality and willingness to lend a paw would make him a perfect Service Dog. He and Helen work together throughout the day, and are now working towards becoming a certified therapy dog team. Not only that, but Ben's been active (and successful!) in AKC conformation - and just so everybody knows he's got a rough and tough side too, he's going to get down and dirty with some sheep at the herding event this month!
Ben's truly an all-around guy, which is what these dogs are all about. He's a joy to live with - so much so, he's inspired the Kramlich Family to add two more Swissies to the household! You know what they say, betcha can’t have just one!
