Benny operates front of house at the Stanley Bridge Tavern<\/a>, Verdun. He is a little Jack Russell, adopted by the tavern owners. They have a sign up asking people to \u2018like\u2019 Benny on Facebook<\/a>, but he was apparently kicked off Linked-In for \u2018not being a true professional\u2019. This not only hurt Benny\u2019s feelings, but is completely inaccurate. He is a consummate professional, entertaining and relaxing patrons.<\/span> <\/p>\n

For example, here he is keeping a Chesterfield soft and warm for the next occupant:<\/p>\n

And here he is keeping guests company:<\/p>\n

And here he is enjoying a glass of red as a knock-off:<\/p>\n

What a handsome boy! He looks like he could do with a book to unwind with though. Maybe\u00a0Dogs in Australian Art<\/a>? (Benny would make a great model.) Or\u00a0I Love My Dog and My Dog Loves Me<\/a>?\u00a0Quotable Dogs<\/a>?\u00a0Or\u00a0City Dog Country Dog<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Thanks for the stellar service, Benny!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
