Samson is a St. Bernard who is almost three years old and belongs to Karli, her husband, and their four children. They rescued Samson almost a year ago and now can't imagine a life without him. "Samson is more than a pet to us, he's our family," says Karli, "He won our hearts from the moment we rescued him, and I am certain he does more for our lives than we could ever do for him."
When Samson began vomiting repeatedly and became lethargic, Samson's family knew something was wrong. An exam showed that Samson had swallowed one of his toys, and surgery would be required to remove it from his intestines. The cost of the surgery was well outside of their limited budget, and the family didn't know where to turn.
