To look at him, you wouldn’t expect Brian Benson to be the keeper of a service dog. He works out seven days a week in his home gym, doesn’t drink, and is almost obsessive about clean eating. He’s health-conscious and successful.
Benson was, nevertheless, recently hospitalized with a serious heart condition, yet his service dog, Magnus, helped him in a big way throughout this ordeal. They shared plenty of warm, fuzzy cuddles in the hospital while the K9’s empathic ways lifted the owner’s depressed spirits. Magnus even inspired sympathy from strangers who would offer comfort and support from half a world away.
