His "real" name was Sambo, but he went by Sam, Sammy, Bo...and "Here boy"...He was my Grandpa and Grandma's dog, but I was his little girl...
I'd been looking for this photo all day, and when I finally found it, I just wanted to share it. He was such a good dog; he had a long-ish, curly, black and white coat, and cute little freckled legs. I remember lying by him and curling his fur around my fingers. He didn't mind. Sam wasn't resentful of my coming into his life like my Mom's dog, Taffy, was ~ he just loved me.
I don't know when he was born (he was obviously an adult in this photo from 1956 (we didn't have pet birthday "celebrations" back then like my daughters and I do for the kitties...;o)) ~ and I really don't remember when he passed away; just that it was a sad, sad day. I had to have been seven or eight. I remember my Grandma's neighbor, Mrs. Cartwright, crying. Everyone loved him.
I'm so glad "all dogs go to Heaven"!

I had to add this; Jimmy Stewart on Johnny Carson, reading his poem, "A Dog Named Beau"; I remember seeing it when it first aired.
