Samson was my nephew, Nathan's, 5 month old german shepard/great pyranees puppy. He was sweet and adorable. He adored Nathan and Nathan adored him. He was the ultimate kids dog. He'd put up with anything and just lick Nathans face. At 9:30 this morning he was running around and playing, acting normal. By 10:00, I went outside to bring him in and he was dead. I don't know what happened. He seemed so fine. I saw no signs of anything wrong. He wasn't attacked by anything, it wasn't heatstroke (it was 70 degrees and he was found in the shade), not dehydration. We're just at a loss to what happened. He was the sweetest dog. It just breaks my heart because Nathan walks around the house calling his name. Nathan is only two. How do you explain something like this to a two year old? He doesn't understand.
I know many people believe in pennies from heaven sent by people they have lost (I know I do) but how about pennies from heaven from a dog? I was washing a pair of Nathans pants about an hour and a half after Samson died and a shiny penny fell out of the pocket. We NEVER put things like pennies in Nathans pockets.
