Yeah for Sammie!! What a sad story with a gloriously happy ending. This is why we should never buy animals from pet stores!!! Puppy mills in the mid west ship dogs to stores here in New York and all over. Very very sad. But THANK GOODNESS you found a home gorgeous. And you're a little doggy - chances are you will have many warm and wonderful years to come, and be a teenager!! I know many people who read your story here will certainly pray for that, darling. Congrats for being Our dog of the Day (year!!)
