We met at a local Portsmouth, NH bar on a Thursday night for trivia and a beer. We may not have won (or come close to winning) trivia, but we hit it off and planned our second date soon after!

One of the first times Dan visited Jenna's apartment in Portsmouth, NH, he met her then 1 year- old German Shorthair Pointer, Bennie. Bennie couldn't control his excitement to meet Dan as he walked in the door. Dan bent down to pet Bennie, who jumped up and knocked his head straight into dan's jaw. Dan's lower lip was subsequently busted open. With blood everywhere and a large swollen lip, Dan gathered himself like it was no big deal. He didn't hold a grudge against Bennie as they both sat down to cuddle while Dan iced his mouth. The rest was history, and they've been best buddies ever since. You can find them running together, playing together, sharing snacks, cuddling, and bird hunting. Some even say that Dan is the favorite of the two dog parents. Dan's love for Bennie is one of Jenna's favorite things about Dan.
