Semi slept and ran free at 5:02 pm this evening i’m truly devastated but grateful that he is no longer in Payne and the finality is much less painful than the anticipation I plan to raise a glass to Sammy later, in celebration of his life. Rest easy my hero!

In loving memory of retired @guidedogs Sammy who will sleep for the final time at 415 this afternoon, 2 months before his 14? birthday. They ask for so little and give so much. Forever in my heart youtu.be/ivHNF_vfMjE?si=v1rj…
