Sam, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sam
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Black Labrador Retriever
Home: Perth, Ontario, Canada
 
   This is Sam. He lives with us in Perth, Ontario. He is a black Lab who turned two on April 1, 2008, so he is almost three now. Sam is very special to us because we were lucky to get him from Canada Border Services, through an extraordinary friend. Sam was in training to be a detector dog, but was one of the nine in ten dogs who didn't pass; the reason - he is too friendly and lovable, imagine!

    And so Sam came to live with us December 21, 2008 which made our Christmas the best one ever. Sam makes a wonderful housemate and great companion for my husband and I who seems to consider us his littermates. It was interesting to watch Sam learn to be a pet, as he had been working most of his life. He had not been used to playing, and it is so fun to play fetch with him as he jumps or slides into his catch like he was coming into home base. We first noticed his playfulness in the snow as he would pounce on the ball making the snow whirl into the air and he'd come up with his prize in his mouth. Sam has made our house so much more interesting and has brought much joy to our lives: we look forward to many adventures with him.
