Hi! I am a two and a half year old Bernese Mountain dog. My nickname is Binkie. Bernese Mountains dogs come from Switzerland and sometimes we are called Berners.

I love to go to the dog park and take walks to see all my friends—Abby, Caspian, Rio, Isabeau, Buddy and Lily, Mya and Elly-Mae. It makes me so happy when we play all together.

But my most favorite thing to do is play with my very best friend, Luca James. He is a Bernese Mountain dog just like me. We love to play with toys and our favorite game is "keep away." The best is when we have sleepovers. We snuggle up close, tell stories, giggle and laugh.

I am so lucky. I have a wonderful family who love me very much, and I love them back! I have lots of good friends, and I have Luca James, my very best friend in the whole world.

Everyone asks me, "Brinkley, why do you wear a beanie?" I tell them that it reminds me I have a loving family and wonderful friends. The beanie lights up and makes fun noises whenever I have a loving thought or feeling, so it makes me want to be a good boy all the time! Momma says I wear the beanie because I'm smart. But I like to think it's just magic.
