  If it looks like Bentley is ready for his close-up, he is.

     “He poses all the time,” his owner May Castillo said.

     She suspects that Bentley, 7, is a mix of Maltese and Poodle.

     “He was supposed to be a full-bred Poodle but I think he’s a Maltipoo,” she said.

     Castillo’s sons Papo Castillo, 25, and Jake Castillo, 18, love to dress their pet in costumes and put his photos on Instagram. 

     The pup also dresses up for birthday parties and holiday celebrations.

     “He’s like my baby,” Castillo said.

     He also has a job: Office assistant and greeter of clients. Bentley accompanies Castillo to her Allstate Insurance office.

     “He’s been so much more than a pet to us and is a member of our family,” she said.
