Benoite is a bitty little pup who lives life nestled in the lap of luxury, which more often than not consists of a roomy designer tote which transports her to many exciting locations via said tote's owner, who coincidentally also happens to be in legal possession of Benoite herself.

But Benoite has grown acutely aware of the cost of her privilege. While she dines on fine food and rests calmly in her spacious bed, she cannot help feel as if she is being oppressed - an accessory instead of a living being, valued only for her looks and the benefit she provides her owner, a bitter, aging trophy wife who purchased a puppy out of a desire to stretch her maternal instincts without stretching her lean figure.

Thankfully, Benoite is an understanding pup, recognizing in her owner the same existential struggle which Benoite herself grapples with every day - life as a status symbol (so idyllic and luxurious on the gilded surface) is a trying experience when one is as sensitive to matters of dignity and disempowerment as Benoite considers herself to be. She gets through each day not through seething resentment but through fantastical escapism, daydreaming about what could be, if only fickle fate had cast the die with perhaps an extra shake (Benoite is something of an atheist, although she is a firm believer in the kindness of others.)

As she is transported to the salon, her mind takes her off this course and instead sends her into an alternate life as the owner of a independent bookstore which, despite frequent financial struggles, is a most rewarding venture, as she is able to provide a sense of community in a bustling city and open peoples' minds with the power of written word, all the while managing to avoid the corporate, mass consumption model of book-purveying, which only breeds social and intellectual detachment and an unflattering uniformity of tastes and opinions.

En route to the local farmers' market, Benoite becomes a florist who in her spare time sits in cafes, observing the people around her, and then skips off back to the shop to deliver bouquets from unwitting secret admirers. She knows that this can very well ultimately lead to trouble, but something rooted deep within her romantic soul prevents her from submitting to cynical logic.

On the way home after a busy day of keeping busy, Benoite dreams of being an illustrator for children's books; she would spend her days bringing joy and color into the lives of many, as well as encouraging literacy and the development of many little active imaginations. She would use her influence to send a positive message, making sure that her illustrations reflected diversity and an open-mindedness in light of race, gender, sex, and ability.

Benoite is keenly aware of her inherently impractical nature; she constantly reminds herself not to lose touch with reality, that such a powerful imagination exacts a heavy toll. The reconciliation of what is with what could have been must not elude her lest she lose herself entirely. But Benoite rests a little easier each night knowing that these dreams exist in her mind and in her heart.
