Meet Bentley At Mansfield's Fill The Wagons Toy Drive

MANSFIELD, MA — Mansfield residents who have yet to do so can meet a local celebrity and help out a good holiday cause at the same time on Saturday when Bentley the Assistance Dog makes an appearance at the Fill The Wagons Toy Drive at Mansfield Crossing. Bentley will be helping Santa stack vans with toys to benefit local children in need.

The donations will be made through the West Side Benevolent Circle.

Bentley the Assistance Dog — also known as Mr. B — celebrated his official NEADS World Class Service Dogs graduation on Nov. 3 and enjoys positive interactions with Mansfield Public School students every day. On Saturday, Bentley made the rounds around Mansfield with a group of student-athletes delivering more than 60 turkeys to local veterans. The gridiron club sponsors this event every year to thank veterans for their service to our country.

Bentley has achieved a degree in fame in his time in town with his own Facebook page that had 1,712 followers as of Wednesday. He also recently appeared in a school play entitled: "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time."
