We got Bennie when he was 5 months old. From the moment we met him, he stole our hearts. He was always a sweet and gentle boy, but of course with a bit of well-known Shih Tzu stubbornness. His big deep brown eyes could stare right into your soul and everything was alright. He was the best of friends. Through all the health problems during his last few years he was brave and stoic, and never complained. We were blessed to have him almost 12 years, but its never long enough. We will love him and miss him the rest of our lives.
