I am Sam, a 12-year-old Border Collie Mix. I can certainly show you the calmer side of life. How about a peaceful walk in the neighborhood with me? I would love nothing more than to retire with dignity, with an owner that is as faithful to me as I would be to you.

I should not be here, but such is life. I just want a lap to lay my head on. Won’t you consider being my best and final owner?
