Ben

Ben Burke is one of the main characters in Wayward Pines. He is the son of Ethan Burke and is the member of the First Generation. He was also a student at the Wayward Pines Academy. However, before ending up in Wayward Pines, Ben went on a search after his father with his mom Theresa. They were in a car accident, and after that, he woke up in the Wayward Pines Hospital, with, of course, no recollection of how he ended up there.

Ben found out the truth about Wayward Pines in school, and he was told not to tell his parents anything, as their brains could not process the new information, which would send them into a frenzy and cause a panic. None of the adults know what’s going on, but the kids are well aware that it is up to them to rebuild the world. He is paired with Amy for the purpose of reproduction; however, after his father’s death, it turns out that Ben was “sleeping” for three years, and that the town is now run by Jason, a cruel boy with a twisted worldview.

Ben also shares his name with one of the most iconic dogs out there, Huddersfield Ben. Ben is considered to be the foundation sire of the whole race of Yorkshire Terriers, quite a flattering title any dog would be more than happy to have. He was a prolific father, with numerous children who later became known as Yorkies. His owner, Mary Ann Foster always said that Ben was such a well-behaved dog who was easy to work with and train. He won over seventy awards in dog shows, and he was a superstar rat-baiter doggo. Back in the day, the Terriers were famous for their ability to kill rats, probably because of their small size, and because they were able to squeeze into hard to reach places.

Huddersfield Ben was a celebrity in West Yorkshire, so his untimely death was devastating to the community. He was run over by a carriage, and his owner decided to preserve his body through taxidermy so that everyone can lay their eyes on the sire of the Yorkie race. A little bit of Ben lives in all Yorkies today, so be proud of their origin, and be happy that a fantastic doggo such as Ben is the sole reason Yorkies grace the Earth today.
