Samson's first day

Life has dealt nothing but lemons to Samson but he's still convinced every hour of every day that there's lemonade just around the corner!

Samson was partially shaved by his owner; he looks like Samson after Delilah got to him!  He was matted because they never brushed him and they left him full-time on a chain.  He is also underweight - they apparently didn't think to feed him either - and needs some gentle, gradually increasing exercise.  He  doesn't seem to have very good muscle tone.  However that doesn't stop him from playing and running  full-speed in a yard with the other dogs!

Look at that face!  And imagine what a drop-dead gorgeous dog he's going to be with a little time ...
and your love and attention! 

Update October 2003: Samson has been adopted by his foster parents.  He has been renamed Goliath, aka Gorgeous George, aka Growly Dog.  He lives in Cle Elum Washington with 2 other permanent malamute and usually another foster as well.  Goliath is learning to eat chicken.
