Samson was turned into a shelter by one of the people that he lived with. The husband and wife were getting a divorce and since Sam belonged to the husband the wife decided to get even with him by turning Samson into the shelter. Someone from the shelter contacted my mother because they knew she did crested rescue.
Samson is probably one of the biggest cresteds that you will meet. His self appointed job is guardian of the house. He takes his job very seriously. Even though at times Samson can really try your patience we wouldn't give him up for anything.
