Well, there seems to be a lot of interest in Sam, "World's Ugliest Dog" and the interest is coming in from around the world! There have been calls for interviews from Germany, Holland, New Zealand, a dozen or so U.S. states, and they keep coming in. A film crew from a German T.V. station came to Santa Barbara to film a "day in the life of Sam"! "Germany loves Sam!" Sam appeared on the July 5 showing of CBS' The Early Show.
Sam has been crowned "World's Ugliest Dog" for the last three years. His pictures confirm the admiration!
Thanks to Doc Searls, http://doc.weblogs.com, and is wife Joyce for introducing us to this world of blog. I have little idea what it's all about just yet, but I think it's going to be fun!
You can catch some more pictures at Sam's website, www.SamUgliestDog.com.
Hi Susie & Sam,
I think you two have a very special relationship that transcends all appearances ...
Susie, I chanced upon your blog while reading someone else's blog, and I must confess, the instant I set eyes on Sam I cried. How, how on earth could anyone do such a thing to a dog?! Oh how much he must have been through! :( .... As a dog-lover myself, I think you are a great lady, to have rescued Sam and given him a warm and loving home inspite of his initial ferociousness (no doubt stemming from distrust of humans thru' his time of abuse!!) and appearance that may scare many a person.
When I have my own apartment in the future, I will definitely adopt my canine companion like you did instead of buying from a pet shop.
Sam, you are a very special dog, one that tugs especially at my heart strings.. You have gone thru the worst in your life and now you're the pride and joy of Susie, sharing your life and moments with her. I wish you all the best and may God bless you, bless you, bless you and Susie.
Love,
Pauline
(With Greetings from Singapore)

I'd really like to see some more pics, to be honest. Would probably crush your remaining bandwidth, but seriously - is that thing for real?

Susie, you are so lucky to have such a wonderful dog! And he is so lucky to have you

Hi,
My name is Ryan and I wrote you an email today with questions about your dog, Sam.
Funny thing, I just moved from Santa Barbara. What a coincidense.
I just love it when any animal, ugly or cute, is loved up. What a great life Sam is having. I respect kindness to animals.
What a beautiful, loving, fun person you are Susie. I am so happy to see Sam's popularity. Who knew? Maybe Sam has a guardian angel. Maybe he's just lucky. How cute!
-Ryan
