Good Humor



I want one of these new Doggie Ice Cream trucks to come down my street! The truck carries all sorts of delicious treats made especially for lucky dogs. Linda's favorite pooch when she was little was a dog named Benji. The Good Humor truck would come everyday at he same time after she came home from school. About 15 minutes before it arrived, Benji would go out on the front porch and listen for the ringing bells. Before Linda could even hear it, Benji would bolt down the steps and sit on the curb. Sure enough, a minute later Linda could hear the ringing in the distance. The nice ice cream man would pull up to Benji and have his small dixie cup of vanilla ready for him. He would hand it to Benji and the dog would carry it back to the porch. Linda never remembers having to pay for it, but maybe her Mommy paid in advance. Benji dog lived a very long time before he finally died of old age. Linda said the little truck on top is exactly like she remembered it.
