Sam was the only survior in his litter. He was furless and pink.We did not think he would survive long. The more fur he grew the stronger he seemed to get, hence Sampson. As he became the nieghborhood alpha male resulting in many fights defending his rather large range, resulted in losing eyesight in one eye , ripped ear, scar-tissued cheecks, and loss of two toes. He inhertied the surname Scarpone. With his age and hevfinally accepting his forced retirement. We now call him Sammich. As we joke that he needs another sqmmuch because he is all skin and bones. Incase you can jot see his picture. Hes flippin huge now. Very loved and looks as he may out live us all.
