Not Friendly

The shelter then told Jess about Benjo who was according to them really aggressive. “He would snarl and snap at people as they walked by,” the manager told Jess. “The shelter also told us he wasn’t friendly and refused to take us into a calm waiting area to get to know him because ‘he wouldn’t be a dog that would come over to us to be cuddly.” But Jess became more determined after hearing the story of Benji.

Not Taking No For An Answer

“We knew that he had a high possibility of being euthanized and didn’t want him to die,” said Jess. There was no way she and her boyfriend would turn back now. They needed to see the dog in person. Both of them had already made up their mind about Benji. This dog would be the new member of the family and nobody could change that fact. The shelter then had to oblige and finally, Benji was in his new home. But his new journey just begun…

On The Way Home

As the shelter people said that Benji was an aggressive dog and he hadn’t been that friendly towards the shelter people, Jess and Jared kept their distance from the dog in the start who was looking confused about the happenings. He was sitting in the back seat of that car looking outside and towards these two strangers of whom he had no idea who they were. Finally, they were home but things didn’t get any easier.

Different World

The way he was looking at the outside world it was clear to Jess and Jared that Benji hadn’t seen the world properly. The manager told them about his aggressive behavior and because of that reason they didn’t try to touch Benji and let him be the way he wanted in the car. He kept staring out of the window and for one moment he even put his face outside the window but then Jared closed the window because he could have slipped from the window.

Happiest Person

Despite the fact that Jess won’t be able to love Benji the way she wants to, but still, she is still happy that at last her wish of having a pet is done. Jared could see the sense of satisfaction on her face which made him happy. He loved the way Jess smiled and that was the best thing in the world. But even then Jared had his doubts about the decision.

The Doubts

Jared wasn’t sure about the dog and he kept thinking that they should have listened to the manager who he gave them the option to adopt some other dog. His doubts were genuine, being a human because we can’t change the fact that just because he is an animal. What if his behavior didn’t change even after some time? Because Jess was already attached to Benji Jared could tell how much it would hurt her if they had to send the dog back to the shelter.
