METROPOLIS, Ill.
Myra Bennett spoke of her friend Charley a lot, not only her friends but to strangers â to the point they suggested she write a book about him.
At first, she resisted; but then she thought a book about Charley could be used as a fundraiser for Project Hope Humane Society, Metropolisâ no-kill animal shelter.
Charley first entered Bennettâs life in September 2004. For years Bennett had wanted a pug â thatâs right: Charley is a dog â and when the first two first met it was love at first sight.
No one is quite sure how Charley made it to the Metropolis McDonaldâs in early August 2004 â he was either dumped or he had run away, all he had on was a flea collar. McDonaldâs employees contacted Project Hope and volunteer Susan Howell went to pick up Charley, whom vets believed was 6 years old. Bennett had been volunteering over the summers at Project Hope and had told Howell if a pug ever came to the shelter, Bennett wanted it.
