What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreSamsyhn loves romping and playing with his friends at Fast Tracks Daycare, and playing with his giant 14-inch Jolly Ball—it’s the only thing big enough to keep up with him! Since he can’t hear a squeaker, he lives for the 'smell-o-vision' of his go-to treat: freeze-dried beef liver. He might not hear the fridge open, but his powerful nose knows the second the 'good stuff' is out, and he’ll give you his best 40-inch tall 'pretty please' lean!"
At nearly 40 inches tall, Samsyhn is a true Apollo of Dogs, but his real superpower is how he listens with his heart. As a deaf Gentle Giant, he has mastered a world of hand signals and the soul-stare, using his keen eyes and heart-stopping intuition to read the world in ways most dogs miss. He doesn't need to hear your voice to know he’s loved, he feels it in every velcro lean and gentle nudge. He’s a 140-pound lap dog who proves that being perfectly imperfect is what makes him a champion.
Samsyhn is a living testament that "deaf dogs can do anything except hear". From romping around with his friends at Fast Tracks Daycare to hiking through the woods, he proves being deaf doesn't slow him down. America should vote for him because he represents resilience, grace, giant-sized love, and is an ambassador for special needs dogs.
