A Pit Bull, later named Benny, sought refuge high on a cliff in Paterson, New Jersey. He refused to get down because he just felt safe out of reach. If he’s up there alone, he won’t live long.
One woman, named Danielle, from a rescue group thought she was going to give it one last try.
As she climbed the cliff, she called to Benny, “I won’t hurt you. Come on, good boy, come on. But as Danielle drew closer to him, Benny stepped back even more. This worries Danielle because he is actually getting close to the edge and is likely to fall.
Danielle didn’t want him to run back or fall off the cliff so she called animal control for more help. They arrived quickly and were able to get to him. When he returned to the animal control facility, Benny was very worried but he had to stay there for 7 days.
Danielle visits him daily and takes him for walks. They bonded pretty quickly, and when the detention was over, Benny was able to go home with her. Danielle raised Benny until he found his forever family, which he quickly did with Jessica and her husband Vernon.
Benny is introduced to her new sister, Sky. The pair become inseparable but what comes next is never predictable. Benny has developed a keen sense that can help her family through a grieving period. Benny actually put a foot on his father’s shoulder to reassure him that everything was going to be okay.
Dogs are amazing, don’t you think? As Benny’s parents say in the video below, he came into their lives at the right time.
