He's so sweet, and I'm so glad he found a good home. <br /><br />I don't know what makes people be unkind, or cruel to animals. You'd think if they didn't like them, it would be easier simply not to have them rather than seeking out animals to injure. Sick, sick people. <br /><br />One of our other rescue dogs had been Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226701297922451272.post-89671112698462485972010-06-08T17:26:15.238+01:002010-06-08T17:26:15.238+01:00He is a lovely boy.

I guess he is just looking after us!<br />Hope you are well, and I am glad your day was brightened up by travelling with Sam.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226701297922451272.post-85671809030850535852010-06-07T19:55:35.638+01:002010-06-07T19:55:35.638+01:00Thanks Stella, a lovely comment.

Mind you, his strong Scottish dialect was difficult for the ears of this soft Sassenach! (i.e. ME).<br /><br />Willow: it was Sam's whole persona that attracted me. A great facial expression and lovely eyes.

I have seen programmes on TV that have made me weep and the images stay with me for days and weeks. How nice that this little dog has a kind owner now. Looks like a schnauzer?<br />Take care.<br />StarStella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.com
