More: Samson is the sweetest and kindest dog. Most people are surprised to learn he’s 12. He’s playful and energetic and friendly to all humans and animals he meets. Living in the Pacific NW, he loves hikes, camping and napping with his favorite blanket by the fire. I got Samson as a shelter pup but lost him for 5 yrs through a divorce. My ex gave him back citing that he clearly missed me. We’re now inseparable. He’s also got his own Instagram page with over 2,500 followers. He only follows back other animals, Beyoncé and Orvis: @samsizzlepdx
