I'd like to tell you about my dog , sam . he's a labrador , but he's far more than just a great pet. I'm not in very good health, and it's hard for me to do things around the house. Sam is a service dog , and he helps me a lot. He bring the mail to me in the morning. He follows me around the house everywhere I go and is by my side whenever we go out. and I know that if I do get sick, he'll start barking to get the attention of passer-by The other really great thing is that I meet a lot of people when I'm out with sam ; kids come over and stroke him ,or adults strike up a conversation by saying what a great dog he is . I used to be so lonely, but now I meet someone new every time I go out! If I didn't have Sam, I don't know what I'd do . He's not just a buddy to me, he's real lifesaver.
