Aw this is the first time i have come across Benji and i balwed like a baby reading it from start to finish. ![]()
If anyone ever feels the need to question all the hard work,blood, sweat and tears that goes into helping rescue dogs(and it can try the patients of a saint im sure) just needs to look at his before and after snaps and it makes it all worth while again.
Well done to everyone involved with him and well done Benji! ![]()






Hi All!
Firstly, sincere apologies for lack of photos..hope these make up for it.
As you can see, Benji has settled in great. His coat is now unbelievable, and believe it or not he actually had a small mat behind one of his ears last week. I never thought I would be so happy to see matted hair! He loves his baths and has definitely put on weight. I also think he has got taller. He will never be overweight as he burns off his food so well! He loves my other dogs, especially my retriever Tilly.
He loves the dog park in Shanganagh and really lets loose there. He gets on great with other dogs but is still scared of sudden noises or unfamiliar objects. He can be nervous of new people but once he realises that they are not scary he is all over them!
Once again many thanks to Marie for all the rehabilitation work she did.

Benji is so beautiful, thanks for posting up the photos.
My heart just melts when I see photos of Benji with his orange blankie….he looks SOOO content.
Thanks Eibhin for taking such good care of a truly beautiful doggy. I wish you all many, many years of fun in Shanganagh Park together. ![]()

Seriously???? It’s actually hard to recognise Benji from the poor, sore, pink scrap that found himself in the pound all those years ago!!!!!! Such a heartwarming update <3!
