Author, Sally Cronin writes, through the eyes of her beloved Collie, Sam. It is a poignant, funny, and oh so entertaining story about life with Sam.

Sam tells us about his life, and what it is like growing up dog. I couldn’t help but fall head over heels in love with Sam! And so will you!

Sam is very literate, he did narrate this book, after all. Sam’s memoir: Sam: A Shaggy Dog Story, is a truly incredible life story of his life as a Collie. He narrates poignantly about his first memories of being a puppy, his incredible curiosity of the world around him, as well as his travels, mishaps, and friendships, and about…

Oh, fyi, I tried to share on fb, but you know the story. But, I did manage to get it up there from Karen’s page – and I didn’t tag you, just wrote Sally, since you’re wanted by the fb police LOLLLLLLLLLLLL ❤

    I don’t know why I am on their hit list since they won’t tell me. All I have done is appeal their removal of my posts and nothing back at all. So I just don’t want to think about it anymore.. ♥♥

    You’re right Sal, no use talking about it anymore. But you are right, you and I both are the only ones I know of our groups that don’t get replies or forgiveness. They apologized to Carol. Anyway, like you say, who cares, and I continue to share there because other posts sometimes go through. And you know I’m a very determined person LOL ❤
