Rescue dog never had a yard to call his own – so his new mom goes above and beyond
Most dogs love to play outside. They like nothing more than to run, play, and roll around in the grass at the park or in the yard outside of their home. For dogs living in small apartments, though, they don’t usually have much time to play in the yard. Fortunately for one dog, his owner loves him very much.
The dog, named Bentley, likes to lay in the grass so much that his owner decided to build him his own little slice of heaven in the back of the townhouse they share.
KaTarra Taylor adopts Bentley
When dog mom, KaTarra Taylor adopted Bentley, he had already lived in four other homes. He had a variety of medical issues and anxiety, which made it hard for most people to handle him. Taylor, though, was determined to stay by Bentley’s side and attempted to provide him with the happy home he had always wanted.
“He’s half sweet doofus and half cranky grandpa,” Taylor told The Dodo.
Finding another home
Together, the two were able to work through Bentley’s anxiety. Unfortunately, when she first adopted him, Taylor only lived in a small one-bedroom apartment. Knowing the apartment was nowhere big enough for the 120-pound dog, she soon moved into another home.
“I ended up buying a townhouse so we could stay together,” Taylor said. “It had an enclosed patio that I knew he would like. I couldn’t afford a house with a yard, but I thought I could turn the patio into a small yard with the right help.”
Bentley absolutely loved his yard
When the two would go for walks or to the park, Bentley loved to play and hang out in the grass. Taylor wanted to get him some grass of his own so that he could lay in it whenever he wanted. Seemingly daunting at first, she worked alongside her boyfriend to transform her townhouse’s patio into the perfect place for Bentley to enjoy the grass he loved so much.
“I finally decided it was time to get this done last week,” Taylor said. “My boyfriend Nick was able to get it all done in one day for under $400.”
Now, Bentley spends most of his time laying in the grass
Once they were finished, Taylor brought Bentley outside. She hoped he liked it and was soon rewarded for her efforts as Bentley immediately took a liking to the grass.
“Bentley immediately laid down and just stayed there for several hours,” Taylor said. “He seems so happy with it.”
Taylor wouldn’t trade Bentley for the anything in the world
