Ben the apricot-colored Goldendoodle has his own Instagram page.
Though he’s not an influencer, he could be one because he has only positive qualities, owner Jackie Garcia says.
“Despite his size, he is a sweetheart and a cuddle bug,” said Garcia.
She and her husband Ray live in Miami Lakes with Ben. The doodle, 3, has a unique way of making friends.
“I say he’s like a 95-pound cat rubbing against your leg. He typically will go around you, [and likes to] embrace people with his body,” she said. “It’s hilarious. Just be sure to stand your ground, literally!”
Ben joined the family during the pandemic and he has brought her “A ton of joy.”
Ben’s a good guard dog, too, and knows all the cars in the neighborhood. He only barks when a strange vehicle comes around, Garcia said.
You may be able to meet Ben during his walks along Main Street and Fairway Drive. Or you can check out his Insta: Thats.Ben.My.Doodledog.
