ARGO S DOG is the Chief Operating Officer of BesenArts.  He is in charge of security, bill collection, and document shredding.  Mr. Dog comes from humble origins.  Abandoned as a newborn, he was rescued by Animal Control and subsequently spent about six months at the Bide-A-Wee animal shelter on the East Side of Manhattan.  There he met Robert Besen and Dena Levine in May 2000, striking up such a fast friendship that they invited him to move in.  Robert soon realized that Argo showed extraordinary skills in customer relations and asked him to join BesenArts.  Mr. Dog takes his name from the loyal friend of Odysseus, Argos, the sole member of the warrior’s family to recognize him upon his return to Ithaca after 20 years on tour.
