A Morrisania family is pleading for help in finding their therapy dog that went missing earlier this month.
Bleden Pino, 12, slept next to his Chihuahua-mix, Benny, every night. The 1-year-old dog is therapeutic to Bleden, who has autism and ADHD.
His family says that Benny escaped on Sept. 4 during a food delivery. They say Benny would have been especially helpful as Pino starts remote learning for the new school year.
"He used to cuddle next to me when I was playing," Pino says.
The family says Benny does not have a tail, one of his nails is all white and he is microchipped.
