Where Did You Find Your Dog?

We found Samson at the Cincinnati SPCA.

Tell Us About the Moment When You Knew that You Two Were Meant for Each Other.

We stopped in on Valentine’s weekend 2011 and fell in love! Walking up and down the row of cages (as often is the case) prompted all the dogs/puppies to jump & bark constantly. Samson on the other hand, was quietly standing in his cage wagging his tail at anyone who looked his way. He was so calm, gentle, and sweet we immediately fell in love with him and wanted to bring him home to be a part of our family!

How Has Your Hero Changed Your Life?

Samson has brought so much joy to our family! He’s such a gentle giant and gets along so well with our smaller dog Eli (maybe he thinks Eli’s a cat) and our little ones in the house (3 yr old & 5 month old). We couldn’t imagine our house without Samson! It’s almost as though we were waiting for Sam to come home – and he finally did!
