When my mom was about 78 she lost her pet samoyed Snowball. She was trying to decide due to her advanced age whether she should get another dog. Then Sam came into her life another samoyed furball. It was love at first site. Sam met mom and fell asleep in her lap and wouldn't leave for hours. Do you know any other dog who owns two cars? Sam does. My mom always called her a sweetheart while my brother's dog Copper was a devil. I think Sam helped mom live extra years because when she had lost Snowball she was ready to give up on life.
