Snuggle up to read this tears-to-smiles story about an older black dog who lingered for over a year in an animal shelter cage.
He waited patiently to be rescued while watching fancy dogs and little puppies being quickly adopted.
No one even took a second glance at this scared and lonesome old guy who wanted a family of his own.
Finally, one little girl noticed his smile and asked if he could go outside to play.
She and her family saw that Sam was sweet and knew some pretty good tricks.
