Sam is a dog my sister rescued along with his sister when she used to Foster Puppies for four weeks at a time for the D.S.P.C.A....She kept Sam after the Fostering was ended, his sister was it seemed, the puppy of a different father & was twice Sam's size & as Caroline already had a Dog & she felt he had bonded with Sam but not his sister. She soon was found another home by the D.S.P.C.A. Sam is a dog of character we think he might be part Collie & part Basset or Dashund what ever he's great. Susan
