Unsung Hero
If you browse through the OBP archives you may notice that Henry has had the fewest number of blogs with him as the center of the story. In some ways, that probably has to do with the fact that he has been the most healthy. And we love that he is healthy! But, another reason is that he is just such a good boy, and let's face it, well behaved pugs rarely make blog history.
He does everything right. He listens (when he can hear---his hearing has been getting kind of dull). He follows directions. He doesn't mess with the cat. He doesn't have potty accidents in the house. Even when it's raining. He will just go outside and get wet and be happy with a towel dry off when he's done. Or really, even if no towel dry he's good with that too! This is so not Benny or Looney like. On rainy nights Ben would not poop outside (but then would leave us a "surprise" in the guest bathroom overnight) and Luna would just be able to "hold it" until morning. They were prima donnas. Both of them. But not Hank.
I am in no way implying that Benjamin and Luna were bad pugs. They were very well behaved, but they did have a little bit of mischievousness to them. Henry's mischievous side is almost non existent. Instead,he was always happy being the practical sidekick to Benny and Luna.
Henry is just so well mannered, unobtrusive, laid back and mellow that there is nothing we can really say that will make him sound exciting. LOL I guess we should throw him in a leather jacket and have him hop up on a motorcycle just to give the appearance that he's as bad ass. 
In all seriousness Henry has a wonderfully charming personality, but that really plays better to a live audience.
He is truly an unsung hero.

We love you Henry!! No matter how uneventful you are!!! You are awesome and make my day!
Dear Henry,
You do not have to be exciting to be a popular pug. Your personality is perfect and even if your day-to-day life does not have exciting events, we want to hear all about you.
Keep being your sweet self and all us OBP fans will adore hanging on to your daily life.
Love,
Sue VDB and Annie Fannie

Henry has probably been smoking and drinking beer for years , you just haven’t caught him!!! xxx
My pug is pretty much the same so I _totally_ get this. Usually things are said more about his ‘brother’ in discussions, who has a far greater rebellious streak. LOL
I agree Henry, we love you just the way you are
Every pug is perfect in their own way. Their quirks (or lack thereof) is what makes them lovable and entertaining. All three of the ODP crew are amazing and perfect in their own unique styles.
Henry, you are so well mannered… many a rebellious pug should take a page from your book lol… knowing you are so well mannered means less stress for Momma, gotta love that! I bet you will get to go to places you haven’t been to before… a new adventure for you, which we all want to hear about!
xoxo smooches to you Henry!!
My 3 are like your 3. My 2 tan pugs have little accidents because they’re to busy outside to get their jobs done. They also have that nasty little habit with pooh. Then there’s Charlie, my black pug who never does anything bad. He’s my cuddle bug. I’m sure Henry is enjoying the one on one attention he’s getting.
I am very impressed by the fact that Henry is willing to get wet when it rains! And I’ve always loved hearing about him and his steady personality ♥
Henry is such a sweet loving happy go lucky boy
Someone had to set the bar in a household and it looks like Henry was the benchmark. No shame in that!
Henry is such a good boy!
