***Rescued by Second Chance Cocker Rescue***
"Benson" - ID# A568365
A568365 - Location: D-063 - UNALTERED MALE, BLACK COCKER SPAN
Shelter Staff Aged Me At: 7 YEARS
Notes from Volunteer Ron:
Benson sure is a very sweet boy. He seems to have adapted to his blindness, he was very eager to go for a walk. He has learned how to stay close while walking and although he can’t see he is a very brave little guy and does not appear to be afraid. He has the softest coat of hair you’ll ever feel.
Notes from Danielle Gates:
Benson A568365: The perfect gentleman! This handsome boy was quiet and calm in his kennel when I went to meet him. I leashed him up fine and I was very impressed with the way he navigated, despite not being able to see. He is very good on leash and seems to know to trust the person walking him not to let him bump into things; if you keep the leash somewhat taut, he follows right along. Once we got into the yard he went potty (it's likely that he is kennel trained) and seemed to enjoy sniffing around. He was very gentle when taking treats even though he couldn't see my hand, and would even sit for them. He cruised along the yard and let me pet and handle him just fine. Once we were about to leave, I turned to see him sitting politely next to the treat bag, as if to say "I'm ready for more, thanks!". Benson is a very gentle and easy going down and would be a lovely companion for a new family.
