As someone said before me, it is a perfect story for a Sunday Dog of the day!!! I am really impressed!!! I have done volunteer work for an animal shelter, and yes its very true that odds would not be with an animal as sick as Sammy was for adoption. You two are one in a million. Sammy by the looks of him looks very content there in that picture and it sounds as if he rewards you everyday for your effort that you took on to save his life!!! Even if he likes to bring frogs to you (kind of sounds like a cat with a mouse) Give him a big hug for me-SUPER!!!!
