Bennett James is the father of two, the stepfather of one, and the husband of Ellen Jennings in Dog with a Blog. He is a child psychologist for a living and thought of adding a dog to the family, which came along Stan. He is not a very strict parent, but can sometimes surprise you in a lot of ways—which is not a good thing.
Personality[]
Bennett is the father of the Jennings/James family. He is a big-time child psychologist who has written several books, however, he is kind of a goof ball. He always thinks he knows the best way to handle everything, and comes up with some pretty unusual ways to deal with family issues. He always thinks of Chloe as a princess, himself as a king, and Ellen as a queen.
