This is my young neighbour, A. Recently, he has taken quite a liking to Benny. I think they understand each other - at least to some degree. The other day, A decided to teach Benny a new trick - to sit before being given the ball to catch. Unbeknownst to A, Benny already knew to sit when told, so A had immediate success. Benny's reward was the opportunity to catch a ball which A tossed.
And catch it, he did.
And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a POTW.

I like the expression of A. as he looks into Benny's eyes. I think it is neat how he really wants to relate to him and retrain him too.
nice catch benny....kids and animals def go well together...amazing how it soothes the kids i work with...
These shots are priceless, Hilary. Oh, my mother's heart would've soared to have had someone such as you living next door to me, when my children were younger! I do so hope you've passed copies of these beautiful portraits of Benny with her son, along to his parents?
I'm delighted to see a few familiar names up here I recognize - I'm looking forward to dipping in to explore some more old and new faces from here - thanks for the heads up!
What a sweet expression that lad has on his face! I bet Benny had a ball ;)
Looking forward to checking out your POTW :)
Great for Benny to get a new friend.;))Incredible last image.;))

That boy has a kind face and Benny is a trickster.
I've always loved your stories about Benny. What a spectacular shot of him with the ball in the air. The boy looks very sweet too.
I am sooooooo surprised that you mentioned me in your POTW. It's a good surprise and I thank you very much. :)
Lovely connection between boy and dog.
Thanks for all these tips.
Nothing like a boy and a dog. :)
Thanks again for the kudos. Your POW list keeps getting longer and longer!
Benny reminds me of My Dog Skip, the movie. Makes me cry every time I watch it.
Love the shot of Benny catching the ball. Perfect!
That young lad is going to want to keep these photos in his scrapbook for a long, long time. Wonderful, Hilary! :)
