Dr. Bennett first met him in 2005 during an annual exam.
Two years later, his caretaker had some extenuating circumstances and could no longer care for Billy, who was having some health issues at that time.
Billy was a tough little trooper and fought through his kidney and liver problems.
During this time a torrid love affair developed between him and Dr. Bennett, as you can see here (Puget Sound Business Journal).
Since there was no way the two could ever be separated, Dr. Bennett decided to hire Billy as our full time greeter.
