Troy student’s family searches for dog after crash

While the family waits on edge for Kempton’s recovery, they are also seeking the public’s help in finding Kempton’s furry companion—her dog Bentley.

“He’s very much her baby,” Andrea Kempton said. “Bentley is the friendliest dog, and I think if he saw a person he’d be very friendly to them and go right up to them. He’s very well groomed, so no one could think he’s a stray.”
