As in BIG BEN! And very Zen Ben, and such a joy to paint!
And he has a pretty amazing story, as told by Ann~
Zen Ben
Retrieve A Golden of the Midwest coordinates very complicated rescue missions to get dogs out of China, into U.S. foster homes and then, onto their forever homes. We signed up to foster a dog named Ben, who was in an over crowded shelter in Shanga, China. A shelter run by Buddhist Monks. Ben had been there since he was nine months old, and like the thousands of other animals in shelters, had little hope for a family to call his own. Surprisingly, Ben arrived to our home completely unscathed by his days long journey in a crate (traveling with tens of other dogs in crates) via shuttles, planes, cars and vans. When he finally did arrive, this foster dog Ben had nothing but wags and hugs and smiles for us. We fell in love instantly with this big, handsome, wildly affectionate boy and within hours we knew that Ben was home. Much like the Buddhist Monks that protected him, he is a quiet, calm and loving friend to all.
