BOO:

Sam had tumors (not painful, just ugly), he had blakheads, acne, dental problems (as you can see), he had hair growth issues (he was balding), and for some reason, he had mis-grown nails that looked like claws...as well as being overweight...

He passed due to slow heart failure at the age of 15.

Hann,we had seen pictures of this wee pet before,and my husband thought he was so great,he kept his picture beside his desk.He was really sad to hear he had died...Honest.

He had quite a long life in the circumstances - so glad he had a loving owner. So many people only want 'pretty' animals. I have several rescued cats and dogs and have taken in animals for the past 30 years. I must admit to taking the unfortunate looking ones in preference to the cuties.

And - yes, he was certainly very ugly, bless him!!

Obviously none of you lot have been for a night out in Gillingham then...?

I am sure Sam was beautiful in the inside.
