Bennie the Brute

Bennie the Brute is based on the real-life adventures of Benjamin James Agnew-David (aka The Bud).

Both a Cancer and a kid who loves nothing more than banging on anything that can make a lot of noise, The Bud is either the sweetest tough guy or the toughest sweet guy on the playground.

He was born on July 10, 2023, and was so gorgeous at birth that the nurse who took a picture for his files insisted on taking two so his parents could keep one.

From day one, he made his appetite known and by the time he was three months old, he’d hit the 100th percentile for height. Though he far prefers to throw food on the ground than to place it in his mouth-and would much rather munch on cords, sticks, sand or anything that could cause harm and/or sickness-he still manages to consume notable quantities of whatever is placed in front of him.

He lives in Los Angeles with his Bud-obsessed parents and cranky-looking cat, Bernie.
