History: Benson was owned by a couple, who hoped to make him a show dog. Unfortunately Benson too excitable to become a show dog but the couple liked him so much they kept him. The couple bought a female dog for breeding and to use as a show dog. The female and Benson became friends, but didn't like each other enough  to breed. Benson began to make friends in Nome, especially Vita. Sara noticed this and became jealous quickly. She also began to hate Benson as he teased her occasionally. Benson noticed Vita and Sara were falling apart as friends so stopped talking to both of them. However Sara realised that Vita wasn't happy without him so she spoke to Benson, and then he confessed his feelings to Vita, which were reciprocated. Unfortunately, he moved away due to the lack of purebred Border Collies in Nome who would happily mate with him, but not before having 3 pups with Vita.
