Sammy, An Amazing Newf


http://theanimalrescuesite.greatergood.com/clickToGive/ars/story/sammy-an-amazing-newf224




This is Sammy, I adopted Sammy when he was a year and a half, and he had lived a horrible life. At his old house he was chained in a 1 meter chain, he used to live on his own filth, they had him abandoned, sometimes without food or water. He had thick fever twice and nobody wanted to give him his treatment, an amazing girl had to go every day and take care of him, so he wouldn´t die, and also they tried to lose him twice. When I got him his weight was 50 pounds (when a newf should be 130-150 pounds). Since he got home, 3 years ago, he gain weight, knows what love is, and has been trained to be a therapy dog so we can retribute what life has given to us. He has been one of the most amazing gifts life has given to me. He has all the space he wants to run free, he doesn´t know what a chain is and has his regular vet visits. We are now 6 dogs and 2 cats, all of them adopted from different life situations.
