Meet King Petey Benson
King Petey, the son of Gayle and Tom Benson, is a striking Yorkshire Terrier (aka Yorkie) with an attitude to match. Like many other Yorkies, his stature is small but his personality is larger than life.
The reigning monarchs for 2024, King Bentley Jurgens and Queen Bea Broussard will assume the new titles of Emeritus King and Queen as the Mystic Krewe of Barkus ushers in a new carnival season and prepares to announce the King and Queen for 2025.
