A TRIBUTE TO THE SAMOYED

This was one of the best things to come out of this barren wilderness of this wild

frozen tundra an animal called the Samoyed the most beautiful of all dogs.

An animal to warm the heart and lift your spirits when you are down, an animal that you cannot compare with any others such is the Samoyed possessed by spiritual beauty of an animal be it male or female, with an heart of gold, its loyalty, love, compassion, and understanding, its heritage speaks for itself for those that know our beautiful breed.

The sparkling white coat with its silver tips shining in the sunlight that gives it an aura of unspeakable beauty.

The warmth of its nature and temperament, its dark beautiful eyes sparkling with the mischief and the humour that they have, the black nose and lips and the red tongue

that gives each one that smiling expression tells you that they are wise and will give you endless love and devotion.

Knowing how the bitter cold winds are and how harsh storms are it’s a wonder our beautiful dogs managed to survive.

Could we as humans compete with the compassion, wisdom and eagerness to help? and the joyous attitude of believing everyone is good.

If you should doubt these few words, find someone with a Samoyed and ask them to let you visit them at home and you will leave with lots of Sammie hair and a new respect for one of the most loving dogs you will ever encounter.
