My Best Friend Bentley

Bentley Drae came into my life in May of 2010. I had always wanted one as a little girl & the day I was going to pick him up I was so excited & had butterflies. When I saw him face to face I was in love. My mom tried to talk me into a younger puppy who was 8 weeks old. Bentley was 12 weeks. She didn't succeed. He has the warmest brown eyes & kindest heart. He listens well and never leaves my side when we go on our walks. My favorite thing about Bentley is that when I ask him for a hug, in the gentlest way he jumps up and slowly places his paws on my shoulder, & gives me a kiss.. its the best moment in any day. He is my own gentle giant & i don't know what i would do without him.
