Hi my name is Ben. I might not be the most regal or handsome of boxers but I have a story to tell. I used to live on the streets and had to fight for what I had but one day I found myself at the Lonestar Boxer Rescue and did not have to fight any more. I had a hard life but I really don’t remember much about that any more. I stayed with Lonestar for a long time.

Then one day, after a year or so I’m told, these 2 brindle beauties came to see me. I really liked them a lot and they had 2 humans! One human seemed ok, she didn’t get in my face or crowd me at all but the other one was not too sure about me. I heard her say to Ms. Bobbie “he is huge!” and she stayed kind of close to watch me with the girls. After a little bit, I got a little excited and almost knocked her down. I didn’t think I would get to see them again after that, but then after a little bit I heard the humans talking and the one with the funny eyes said I could come!

I went with them to a new place that had a lot of grass. After being on my own with just the Lonestar people for company, suddenly I had this huge place to roam around. I had to make the rounds to make sure that everything was ok! It was hard the first couple of weeks because I wasn’t use to patrolling such a big area anymore. I had to make the rounds several times a day to be certain that everything was ok, after all, I had 2 brindle beauties to take care of and 2 humans!

Anyway, I am doing much better now. I take care of the little brindle beauty; her tag reads Xena, and the big brindle beauty that they always call Beauty. The little one is still very nervous and afraid, but she did not have Lonestar to help her like I did. So, I have to teach her that she will be okay and she is doing a lot better now that I have been here for a while.

One of the best things I have found here is that I have a cute tiny little human that comes over sometimes! She gives me hugs that pull all my skin up around my head! She sits on my back and uses my ears for handles. I think that she thinks I am her motorcycle or maybe her very own white horse! I like her a lot because she gives me big kisses and hugs! All I can say is that nobody better mess with my humans now!

Thank you Lonestar for finding me the perfect forever home!

Love, Ben
