JANE BENNION IS PASSIONATE ABOUT HER WORK WITH DOGS AND WITH THEIR WELL-BEING roomer s aves lives

BY SHERYL KIROUAC Chronicle staff

We have all heard the adage dog Is man's best friend, but Jane Bennion truly is dog's best friend. The Oshawa groomer has been working with animals for about 20 years, but she Is pas- sionate about her work with dogs and is dedicated to their well-being. Over the years, Bennion has rescued about 14 dogs. She brought them into her home, nursed them back to health, and found them loving homes. In one such instance, she fostered a one-year-old hound- cross that had been hit by a car on the 401 at Ritson Road, in Oshawa. The helpless canine had a broken shoulder and a broken pelvis when she came into Bennion's care. "We named her Hope," Bennion said. "Hope she lives." Bennion said she had her work cut out for her because she had to nurse Hope, teach her to walk and take the stalls, and she had to house train her. "We never found the own- ers," she said. "I'm just really thankful to East Oshawa Animal Hospital because they covered the veterinarian bill. Without them, she would have been put down because she was so badly injured." Hope recovered, but she had a paralyzed front shoulder A DOG'S BEST FRIEND: Jane Bennion with the two Standard Poodles, Ashton (left) as a result of the accident. are currently up for adoption.
