“If your dog is still needy, give him more of what he needs.”
Carol Lea Benjamin, Second-Hand Dog: How to Turn Yours into a First-Rate Pet

“Does Dashiell actually… do things, I mean, besides protecting you?”

I looked down at my dog. The top of his head had been slimed by one of the other dogs. His big meaty mouth was agape and panting, a loop of drool draped delicately over his worm-colored lower lip. And he was covered in dirt.

“You thought he was just a pretty face?”
Carol Lea Benjamin, This Dog for Hire

“He was immaculately clean, almost sparkling, a little foxy-faced boy with small rounded-at-the-top triangular ears and dark, alert eyes. He was a ruddy chestnut brown with white points on his face, chest, paws, and tail, a handsome, elegant, and with an uncanny presence, especially considering he weighed not much more than twenty pounds. He was clearly the kind of dog judges say “asks to win,” the kind of creature you somehow find yourself drawn to look at, no matter how many other dogs are around. It was no surprise at all that he was so successful in the show ring.”
Carol Lea Benjamin, This Dog for Hire
