Bentley

Bentley is not just our family pet, he’s a retired show dog and the most valuable employee at our business, at the Marietta Wine Market. He’s our official greeter, and has been known to recruit customers by charming the passers-by on our side street just off Marietta Square.

For the first year he lived with us, Bentley suffered from ear infections. As an English Springer Spaniel, a breed with dropped ears, it’s not uncommon to have to treat ear infections, but his never seemed to get better or go away. We tried standard ear infection treatments for over a year, but after seeing no improvement, our vet sent a culture to UGA College of Veterinary Medicine. They diagnosed a resistant strain of bacteria and compounded exactly the drug that Bentley needed to be infection-free.

It’s that kind of service that makes the UGA Teaching Hospital vital to pet owners all over the south. Bentley didn’t even have to go to Athens to be helped by the staff of the hospital. We appreciate the attention, and better yet, the cure, given to Bentley and hope that you’ll support Billy’s Building Fund so even more animals can be helped.
