Susan's Benji

I am a Benji,
Multi-colored as a tapestry
I'm a face washer and foot warmer
I bounce on pogo stick legs
I howl like a werewolf, nose to the sky
I whirl like a dervish
I'll sit nicely for treats
With nose to ground, I track things
Leash tugger, super-sniffer
Baths turn me into a drowned rat
Resting, pensive face on paws
How can you resist?
I am a Benji
