I’m not good with posting pictures but there’s two pix of him here (as a small puppy in the header, and a handsome picture in the body of the text.) [http://middleagedjoker.com/hungry-hound/](http://middleagedjoker.com/hungry-hound/) Please note that Benny Handsome Goodboy is all of the following: 1. Handsome 2. Good 3. Just so cute 4. A sucky baby 5. Smart 6. So fast and strong! Go Benny! 7. Hungry, but a good boy who gets his treats Questions may be directed through me regarding how good and handsome Benny is. ---

Not as pretty as Trixie Dog. Benny’s head looks awfully big for his body. Dogs, rocks and other stuff: [bob smith | Flickr](https://www.flickr.com/photos/155285423@N02/) ---

Tollers look like awesome dogs. I’ve heard great things about them but I would have thought you’d need a bigger lot than suburban living would allow. That said, Benny sounds like he’s living the life of Riley. ---

I now understand just how handsome Benny is. He is also very good and smart and fast and strong. But especially handsome. ---

I asked Grady, who is also a Handsome Boy, and he said “My gosh, yes he is handsome and I bet he is very good I can tell from how he looks and also I am hungry too treats please!” ---

My yorkie (dog,jr.) Wants to swap selfies with Benny. I wouldn’t allow it because those things never go away, just when you think it is all clear, you apply for job and there’s that nude you sent 6 or 7 years ago. So no! He is incredibly handsome though!! ---

That said, Benny sounds like he’s living the life of Riley. Tollers are active dogs but they’re not the psychos we were led to believe. In all honesty, Benny has been very easy. Easiest dog I’ve ever had. He isn’t destructive at all, never runs away, doesn’t bark much, and being a retriever and an intelligent breed, he is both ingratiating and a quick study. Having said that, 1. We walk him a lot, and 2. We took him to obedience school, which makes a huge difference. ---

Please explain “sucky baby”. I think it means something different in Canadian. In USian, “sucky” means “bad”. ---

Benny is indisputably a very handsome fellow. I wouldn’t trust him around ducks though. ---

A very handsome and fluffy, young chap. Does he know how handsome he is? Has anyone ever told him? 🙂 ---
