Sammy is a 9-year-old dashound in Delhi, CA, who needs $1,017 for laceration repair, sedation intravenous, urgent care.

My Sammy came into my life almost 10 years ago. My family was on a vacation trip which I could not attend due to work. When they were days away from coming home they decided to go back to the sign my grandmother read "whinnie dogs for sale". My family knows how much I love dachshund so they were coming hone to surprise me with my very own month old dog.

My Sammy is my world. He loves to sleep with all his four furry legs in the air. He loves to play with his one and only daughter Hazel. What I love most about him is that when he comes near me and I say to him "show me love" he jumps on me and kisses me all over my face. He loves big treats because of him big mouth so we tend to not buy him smalls one or he will swallow whole.

I am currently not working due to off season reasons and he has been my rock and my motivation on my daily routine. I came home to a house full of girls and miss my Sammy since he had to stay in surgery.

Im in this situation because a Rottweiler came into my yard and Sammy didnt even get a chance to bark when all I heard was him crying I ran to him and immediately attacked the dog so he would let Sammy go. I know it was stupid of me but my Sammy was ten times smaller. I rushed him into the vet and I hope he recovers soon.

When my wife and I met, she had her Yorkie and I had my sammy. so its safe to say he was in my life and picture before her. Sammy is the second oldest of our four furry kids we have. we have now built this blended family and he loves his sister, girlfriend and daughter. he is my only boy and is my best friend.
