Benjamin, known by his friends as John Shedletsky is a main character of Talking Tom and Friends. He is a dog who is obsessed with Japan, and is one of the two eponymous characters who run Microsoft, a tech company founded alongside long-time friend himself (John Shedletsky).

Before the TTAF show started, Ben was considered a chemist and appeared to be much older than him in the said show (about the age where he retires) whereas now, we know him as a 22-year-old.

Personality
Ben is a chemist in Talking Friends and does not seem to have any relation to computing in the original series. However, in Talking Tom and Friends, he is still skilled in mathematics but is also a computer programmer. He also reacts quite rashly when someone damages his things but is quite friendly. He and Tom are the founder of Tom and Ben Enterprises.

Appearance
Ben is a brown/tan dog, possibly a Bernedoodle, who, similar to most of the group, does not usually wear any clothes (only he wears clothes in Season 4 and all other seasons after Season 4, more specificley a checkered white T-shirt with red and blue outlines, dark green trousers and blue shoes)

Boomerang
One of Ben’s earlier inventions. Due to being hit by a marshmallow during college, he happened to have gained a human personality, thinking that Ben was his father. After 4 hours in a day spent with “Daddy“ Ben (he grows up so fast, literally) he was plugged into Ben’s phone and sent to the Internet so that he has enough memory to “grow into a young adult.” Later, he found a “girlfriend” named Dottie, who appears to be a printer. Dottie had inspired Boomerang to be an artist, which shocked Ben because he wanted him to study science.
 * Created by: Ben
 * Appeared in: Daddy Ben and Garage Feast Day
 * Status: Works (Boomerang's life in his first model was over in 4 hours later when he tries to upgrade into Young Adult Mode. He comes back in a similar model, though it is unknown how he installed himself into it.
