We would like you to meet a new puppy with a great personality! This is Sam and his new best friend, Read Durden. Sam is a German Shepherd puppy, born on October 3, 2000, and pictured here at his Puppy Plan appointment on December 19, when he weighed 27 pounds. This is going to be a big dog, so we think that it is good that he learns to carry his toys with him, so he won't have to take a tennis ball away from someone smaller than him!!!
