he was just a square headed dog that guarded his girls like they were his own, causing you to trip occasionally because he was going to be right with you every step of the way/you looked at Sam and he was an easy read, he wanted to be loved and he wanted to love……that was it………..he was always torn between his love for the outdoors and his love for you and this time it got the best of him……..old big hearted Sam with the dedication people find hard to find in humans…….it would be a critical mistake to say Sam was just a dog, Sam was an entity in a dog’s body…….that’s the shape he took and i can see Sam bounding through a field of tall grass, stopping to look back for his girls……..Sam was an angel, your angel and i will see Sam before you will and i will rub His square head and tell him you miss him, sad he is gone, but he was there and your life was better for it……….better than if he had never been there at all………………….we lose things in life and that’s hard but what’s worse?……..never having them at all…..we struggle to accept his departure we remember him and his love……….goodbye Sam

nope he wasn’t just a dog…….he was Sam
