Ben was rehomed to the Reid family in 2003 and he has been a much loved family member ever since.

All at NIBRS would like to thank the Reid's for providing Ben with his forever home.

A few words from Margaret:

"Ben came into our family in 2003, he was about 2 and a half years old and on being brought into our family home with one of boxer rescues volunteers, Robert, he walked in and from that moment we all knew that Ben was the for us. He was like a duck to water, very excited and was jumping around everyone licking them.

He was a gorgeous red and white, mostly red but has a white chest and black face. He loves lots of long walks which he goes out with a little scotch terrier from across the street called Jock. He also loves playing piggy in the middle in our back garden. Ben also loves to hide his ball in the sand when we take him to the beach and then he can dig up all the sand to find the ball again, he would remind you of Bambi, but if he does not get walked he is very grumpy and huffs and sulks.

Ben is a very important member of our family (probably more important than my other two sons) only joking :) He is so much a member of our family he is my third son. Ben's party trick is when he gets a plastic bottle with the lid still attached, he holds it between his paws and he opens up the lid :)
