Benedick is a moody dog who likes who he likes and dislikes who he dislikes. He is very particular about what dogs he will and won’t play nice with, though it’s still not quite clear who will fall in which category, and he will not hesitate to make it clear that he does not like someone. As he is both aggressive and confident, he has no problems instigating a fight, which is why he is often not allowed out with the other dogs, as he does not do well with them interacting with him. Daae meeting him was actually a complete accident, as someone hadn’t properly latched some door or another and had let her get out into the yard with him. There was a rush to try and get her out, but before anyone could, they realized Benedick was leaving her alone. It was this that first sparked Daae to be considered for acting as a companion (in some ways, as emotional support as well) for other members of the kennel. With some hesitancy and small exposures, it’s become clear that (though they have to take it slow) Benedick may be able to put up with dogs he normally wouldn’t if he has Daae around. For whatever reason, she has a calming effect on him.
