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 ,and he fetches my cell phone when it rings . He even brings me the TV remote when I ask him to get it! He loads up the washing machine,and when it's done,he takes the clean laundry out and gives each item to me separately! He can open and close doors, and switch room lights on off.He follows me around the house everywhere I go and is by my side whenever we go out.He always wags his tail and seems so happy . Before I had Sam, I was nervous about going out because I thought I might fall down,but Sam helps me keep my balance. If I drop my keys or purse, I need not worry because Sam will pick them up for me,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.
