I’m not sure I fully understand. I might need more photographic study aids in order to grasp the extent to which he exhibits the handsome. I mean, that sweet, fluffy face is giving me an _idea_, but can’t fully grasp it without more pictures to study.

[https://imgur.com/](https://imgur.com/) - New Post - upload - put cursor over picture to get its URL. Gallery URL is on the right I think.

Right from when you first posted his pictures I was showing my daughter how ridiculously cute he is. She agrees, he’s ridiculously cute.

Next you’ll have to get him his own Instagram, like [my handsome boy Bowery](https://www.instagram.com/bowery_the_frenchton/).

The cat does not look pleased. And that portrait of him with the incredibly goofy smile and fun-psycho eyes made me laugh out loud in a sleeping house at near-midnight.

Aaaaaw, what a cute li’l fella. He’s gonna grow up to be a fine-looking big dog too. And to think, I’d ever even heard of that breed before until I opened this thread like a minute and a half ago. Who sez surfing the Web ain’t educational?

[**El DeLuxo** just loves all the little puppies]

A Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, you say? That is a mouthful. He’s got our dear departed pooches beat by 2 syllables (they were Cavalier King Charles Spaniels … and I thought THAT was a bit much to pronounce).

ETA: He’s a handsome boy, of course he is.

Those are great pics, **Rick Jay.** I think I now understand how handsome Benny is; _very very very_. And he seems to have a good sense of humor too. The cat does not appear to share my opinion 😛

How are the cat and dog getting along? Are there pictures of them close together?

That’s one handsome goggy. He’s got a bit of the mature (but not old) Harrison Ford look to him.

Luna would swoon over Benny, given the chance. She might even cheat on Magnus, the giant white Siberian Husky she currently has a crush on.

This thread really should go in General Questions, because there is a factual answer.

The answer is:

Yes! He is very handsome! And a very good boy!

Handsome feller. Already could pass for a much older dog with a sort of scruffy, Scottish pipe-smoking Sherlock look. Get him a scarf, preferable red or green and in a plaid pattern. And teach him not to smile, and to have a gravelly, solemn but intellectual voice.

There are, I’ll download a few off my phone later. They get along well.

The cat’s name is Mittens, and he is also a very good and handsome boy.
