THE ENTERTAINER

The lone figure from golf entertainment walked on four legs. Benji Hogan (13 in human years, about 91 in dog years, May 1) was a 24-pound terrier mix rescued from a shelter. He served as a sidekick in the Dennis Walters Golf Show for 12 years. Benji was the third pet dog Walters had used in 34 years of his show.
