[nagdu] Benny's last big gig

[Tracy Carcione]

It's kind of a good thing to be able to compare the 2, the first and the 
last.  It's good to be reminded that Ben wasn't always the fine worker he is 
now, so I can be ready for the next wild young pup.
With my Echo, I kept a personal journal, and reviewed it before I went to 
get Ben.  It was full of complaints about this really pokey dog who was not 
too interested in working for me, who later became a quick, very responsive 
partner.
