Samson was one of the most beautiful Chinese Pugs I have ever seen. His markings in China would have been concered royal. Sammy was also extremely bright and had an air about him of leadership, adventure, and love for life. When I would take him on walks, he would prance. He loved chldren, sometimes I think he thought he was human. To me he was like my grandchild. He was the son to Missy my female pug. Missy only had one litter and I kept Sammy. On the morning of his birth, I delivered him in my hand. He was the biggest at birth. Missy had five boys and one girl, she didn't make it. He was pick of her litter. All of his four brothers were fixed and Sam was the only male to carry on his family tree. I was looking forward to having puppies from Sam. I called him my gentle giant, because of his size and tender spirit. He was very protective with strength that amazed me. He was able to jump with balance and hieght like no other pug. These dogs are the only decendent from the lion dog out of China and were bred to protect the empire. Samson was definetly a throw back to the lion dog. His neck was 21 inches. One of my memories I will think about often is how he would sleep in my arms and cuddle next to me in the morning hours before I would walk up. Then nudge my face to get up. When Sammy got up, it was rise and shine we've got life to explore. Sammy, lived to live. He also loved his mother Missy very much. He was a good son. He doted over her always, licking her ears and face and always being playful to keep her company. They would often sit outside together and enjoy the beauty of the world. About 2 years ago I discovered crimes that were being commited by someone I knew. I took the courage to expose the crimes. Yes, I paid a big price for justice. Sammy was given poison that attacked his heart muscle. I was so hoping he would still have a long life in this world so we could grow old togther. Sam was only three at the time of his massive heart attack. The attack left him with little life and intense pain. Taking him to the vet to have him put down, so he was no longer suffering, was the most painful act I ever had to do.....I buried Sam in the mountains under a beautiful pine tree....I believe good prevails and I also think pugs are some of Gods Angels on earth. Someday I will walk with Sammy again in Heaven. I will never forget you, Sam. You were an Angel sent for a short time.

I miss you,  Luv Grammie.
