Loyal Dog Refuses To Leave His Dad Alone Until The End

Benny, a faithful dog, was saved after Hurricane Harvey and adopted by a Washington family a year and a half ago. Benny and his father, Scott Ballenger, became great friends when they met and haven’t been apart since.

According to Alexis Nazarino, Scott’s daughter, Benny felt uneasy among the other guys, but he adored Scott and would always listen when his car drew up to the home after work, long before the family knew.

Despite his distrust of other people, his father always showed him love and trust, taking him everywhere with his fiancée.
