Benjy is not an animal

Benjy was in bed with us, lying in between us, and I was stroking his head. He turned to me and said, in a very serious voice, "Mummy, don't stroke Benjy, I am not a dog, or a cat, or a sheep." I repeated it to Eddie, who hadn't heard, and Benjy added, "Or a goat, or a cow."
