Hi my name is Sam or Sammy or when my mom gets mad at me, Samuel Adams. I am 13 years old. I had my birthday in November so don't forget to wish me a happy birthday. My mom got me as a Christmas present when I was seven weeks old. She says I am still the best gift ever. I think I look like my grandpa. We both have gray beards and he has gray hair on his head, and I have gray hair on my belly. I am very friendly and love giving hugs and licks. I also love smiling for pictures and sleeping. Ever since I was a pup, I've always enjoyed taking a long snooze. My mom tells me that I throw temper tantrums a lot. I don't think I do. I just don't like taking baths. I have a little cousin named Firo. He is a miniature Dachshund. For some reason people are scared of me when they first see us. I don't understand why.

My name is Vanessa and I am the proud owner of Sam. I don't have any children but I can seriously say he is like my baby boy. He has always been there for me when I needed someone to talk to. While I was a full time student, I would come home stressed and Sam would always give me a look that would just melt the stress away. People are scared when they first see him, but after being around him for a few minutes, you can't help but want to love and hug him. He has brought so much joy and happiness to my life and I couldn't imagine a day without him.

Hello, sweet Sam, "best gift ever"! Happy birthday and happy Dog of the Day!

You were a Christmas gift to your person as a puppy, and you have always been there for her! You are very friendly - I would like to give you a big hug! Since I can't, though, I hope your person will give you some for me. You are a napping specialist, and you are also a handsome camera star! You put up a bit of a fuss when it's time for a bath. You have a special gift of making people relax! You have brought much happiness and joy to your person! Best of all -- you are greatly loved!

Happy, happy Dog of the Day to Sam! Love to Firo, too!

Hi Sammy! Happy Dog of the Day to you, sweetheart, and to your proud mom Vanessa too! And oh yes, countless happy 13th birthday wishes to you as well, sweetheart, from all in this Labbie loving home!

Scared of you? Who could be scared of a boy as beautiful as you? Just look at that sweet face, those warm, love filled brown eyes, that SMILE! Well, as the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover, for a doggo doesn't come any gentler, any sweeter, any more loving than you!

How very, very blessed your mommy Vanessa is, having a best baby boy, a furkid, a loyal and loving companion in you, having known your devoted companionship the past 13 years. You, Sam, are the BEST Christmas gift ever, the gift of comfort and joy, unconditional love and laughter! And I'll just bet your grandpa is proud to have a doppelganger in you! hehe As a life long Lab mom I know just how special you kids are and you, Sam, embody all of those characteristics we Lab lovers cherish in your beloved breed! You truly are one extra special boy, Sam, beautiful inside and out, simply the best, and so very deserving of your big day of honor!

Thanks for the much needed smiles, sweetheart! Meeting you this evening, seeing all of your heart-melting photos, has been a joy! I hope you're enjoying a very special day of celebration...playing with pup pal, cousin Firo; giving and receiving licks and kisses; posing prettily for the camera, hehe; snoozing and cuddling with your mom; being loved and pampered to pieces! Lots of love, hugs and smooches to you, precious Sam, our very special and most deserving Dog of the Day, EVERY day; Dog of a Lifetime!!!

Pure love!!!
