Robert Griffin III’s family lost (and then found!!) their dog Benny in the most heartwarming story

Benny Robert Griffin III

Former NFL quarterback and ESPN commentator Robert Griffin III went through a dog ownership doomsday scenario on Wednesday.

The Griffin family found themselves on a worried search for their beloved dog Benny, who Robert Griffin III said got out of their backyard and had been missing for five hours at the time he shared the news.

While social media can certainly be a difficult place to navigate, moments like this do show the power of communal help as the Griffin family hope to find Benny and bring the pup back home.

Benny looks like a very, very, very good dog.

Of course, you never want to assume the worst when it comes to a lost dog, and anyone with a Twitter account who knew of Griffin’s plight on Wednesday became instantly concerned.

However, Griffin shared the absolutely wonderful news a few hours later that Benny had been found safe and was back at home.

Phenomenal! Benny being back with the Griffin family could put a relieved smile on anyone’s face. Just look how happy that dog is to be home.

What’s even more fascinating is the story Griffin told about how the family found Benny, which underscores the idea that there are always good people out there willing to help in a time of need.

We’re all thrilled that the search for Benny the dog had a happy ending, and we hope Benny is getting plenty of cookies and belly scratches now that the good doggo is safe and sound.
