Sam, a fourteen year old purebred Chinese Crested Hairless dog was rescued by Susie Lockheed over five years ago. He was considered "un-adoptable" by local shelters, but Susie took him in on a 48-hour trial period. During that time he lived in a cage because he acted like a rabid dog. Susie had to shove food and water into his cage and run. The 48-hour trial became several days, and then Sam just walked out of the cage and became "one of the pack" of other hairless dogs who found harbor in Susie's domain.

He was the three time (2003-2005) undefeated winner of the Ugliest Dog in the World contest. His ugliness earned him TV appearances, limo rides and even a meeting with Donald Trump.
Sam passed away on Friday, November 18, 2005. The news traveled quickly, and Susie received emails from people all around the world expressing their condolences, with many expressing how Sam had affected their lives. There truly was an outpouring of love. Sam touched people in very different ways, from eliciting almost uncontrollable laughter to a little fright, but mostly it was Sam and Susie's relationship that enamored them to so many.
There have been emails telling Susie that more and more animals that had once been considered unadoptable are now being taken in and loved by new parents. Although Sam will be missed by millions, he certainly did his good deed while on this earth, and his legacy lives on!
