The beloved "Benton Dog."
The beloved “Benton Dog.”

Mayor Rita Dotson: As most of you know by now, “Town Dog” or “Benton Dog” was hit by a vehicle yesterday and died. Collier Funeral Home has cremated his remains and donated an urn. There will be a small ceremony for him Monday at 3:30 at Benton City Hall, and his urn will be placed there. We waited until 3:30, so that any school children could attend if they choose to. You can make a donation in his honor to your favorite charity. Please share.
