Dear Sam. Your beautiful tale of rescue and your unfaltering devotion to your family brought a tear to my eye. Your capacity to love unconditionally, your faithfulness and most especially, your gentle, gentle ways exemplify all that is most coveted among God's creatures. I do believe that you truly were Heaven sent; sent here to be a forever friend, loving companion and protector to dear Kevin, his family and to ALL living creatures. Sam and his little chick pal...that photo says it all. I wish I could congratulate you in person beautiful, sweet Sam. There was never a more deserving honoree than you Sam, Dog of the Day! What an honor it was to meet you Sam. Your family and all living creatures were truly blessed the day that you were born!
