Benny Waffles is all about the good life—his favorite treat is pumpkin and, naturally, anything his humans dare to snack on. His favorite toy are his weasels that he cuddles with day and night, channeling his inner hound dog.
How can we even put this into words? Benny truly completes our family with his goofy antics, soulful eyes, and endless love. He’s our daily reminder to slow down, enjoy the little things (like a good nap or a pumpkin treat), and always greet the world with a wagging tail.
Benny Waffles isn’t just a dog—he’s a symbol of unconditional love, endless joy, and the kind of pure, tail-wagging happiness we all need in our lives. His charm is irresistible, his personality larger than life, and his floppy ears? Iconic. Benny reminds us to savor every moment, share kindness freely, and always leave room for dessert. America deserves a favorite who embodies love, laughter, and pumpkin-flavored dreams—and Benny Waffles is that dog!
