Back in August of 2007, my mom and I went to the petstore to buy cat food, and fell in love with this adorable American Eskimo puppy.  He was too cute to pass up. So we bought him and thought it would be an awesome surprise for my dad.  My dad came home and hated him .  He always said it was up to my mom to get a dog, but since it wasn't some huge dog, he didn't like him.  I kept him for two months and then I was forced to give him up

I moved to Michigan and in the process brought Samson.  Since he couldn't be with me, I thought what better way than to give him to family.  That way I can always visit him. So I did. My uncle and his family took him in.  They also have thousands of other animals.  They have four kids, so I thought that would be great for Samson. I trusted him.....

I visited him all the time.  He loved me and always came running when I came over.  Sam was living with him for one year.  He was bascially just going to board him until I could get my own place.  Anyways, I got the worse news on Jan 17, 2009.  My grandma came in and told me that Samson had run away along with two of their other dogs.  My uncle's story is that someone cut a hole into their fence and the dogs got out.  Three dogs took off.  Two of them came back (I think they were found by neighbors or something).  But not MY dog!!  He was only a year old. He would be two this coming March 28.

I will NEVER FORGIVE my uncle and his family. Here's why. Samson ran away Jan 13.  I wasn't notified until Jan 17?????  They never wanted to tell me  It only accidentally slipped out at a meeting that my grandma attended.  If someone cut a hole in their fence, it happened during the day (the dogs were there when my uncle left for work), the middle of the day.  4 kids, a mother, grandmother and uncle living in that house.  Not one person noticed anything????

They got 4 kids, three daughters and a son.  I have a theory that their son did something....but I won't get into it.  He's only 11, but he's more troubled than any kid I know....

No one will tell me the truth as to what happened to Samson that day.  I hear a different story every week.  First my aunt tells me he wasn't wearing a collar. Then the following week my uncle says he was wearing a collar.  Then they told me they found him dead on the express way. Then the next week, it turned out it was only fur, no body......

I give up...I just miss him .  If you can't trust family to watch your dog, who's left?? 

Had I been notified sooner, I could have helped look for him.

Here, I made a video for him, but I can't get it to show up in the post, so not sure what's going on.

Samson, wishing you were here....but never giving up hope.

Same thing with Bandito, him and Simba got out but we only found Simba.The heartache of loosing a pet,

A dog dosent care if your rich or poor,educated or illiterate,clever or dull.Give him your heart and he will give you his.It was really quite simple, and yet we humans,so much wiser and more sophisticated,have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not.~John Grogan
