At 38 ,Charlie "Burnsie" Benton's dreams didn't die in one night, they faded like a twenty year old pair of jeans, one shade at a time. From prospect , to head-liner, to contender , then gatekeeper , down to journeyman, and finally to starving pug , looking for a last gasp in a two decade career.
When you're an over-the-hill pug that can't fight, can't walk, or can't seem to get out of your own way, life can get a bit dark. Until an offer of treatment and relief from confinement to his wheelchair comes along, that appears to be your last hope.
Well why not! From Great White Hope to Great White Dope isn't to far to fall!
