Story of Sammy Loves The World begins now…
Hi there. Hope everyone had nice day. So thought would share story tonight, about Sammy when as little. I coined phrase for him very beginning, “Sammy Loves the World “, not very sophisticated phrase, but it very fitting. When I got Sammy, I lived on 54th Floor of second largest residential building on East 38th Street. Not being boastful, it was a rental.
Anyhow, some nights after work, just too tired to take him out, especially in winter. He got out a lot, don’t get me wrong, and yes I had wee pads for him when I kept him in. The point is nights when I just wanted to stay home, I used to pick him up so he could stare out the window. It always amazed me watching him watch the world.
He would look down at people walking by taxis, the buses and was completely entranced. I used say to friends that when he watched the world, you offered him food or other dogs to play with, you could not distract him from looking outside. I never saw that with a dog before.
When I would speak to my family and friends, I used to say, “Sammy loves the World”. And he really did. We would venture out a lot, and my God, when he was out, every step he took, after each store we walked by, you would think the biggest party in town was going on. I know we all look at him as this cute little thing, and believe me, so do I. But much more than that, he is the happiest living thing I have ever seen in my life. This little man takes nothing for granted, and smiles the second he wakes up, until the second we all retire for the night.
Naturally the general attrition of life took place as time moved on, people saw this quality, and he wasn’t just the cute Sammy anymore, he was little boy that make you happy right then and there. As social media came into our lives, the natural thing was to share this smile and appreciation for life with anyone and everyone. So when look back on boy to stare at world from 54th Floor in sky, I knew would lift people’s spirits around the world. When someone loves the world like does, how can not resonate through all of us? So the term “Sammy Loves The World” was real experience, not just some slogan. It was those lonely nights on 54th Floor that Sammy just blew me away.
Amen. Love Sammy & Family.
