When the excitement of the day fades, he shifts gears to become the ultimate cuddler, thriving on affection and love. Benny forms strong bonds with his trusted humans and can be a bit protective of their attention. A home as the only dog would suit him best, or he'd flourish with an experienced adopter who appreciates his quirks and supports his confidence-building.
