Saving Samson: Dog lovers show their colors

News that the biggest dog in Britain needs an operation his owners can’t afford — and that the likely alternative will be euthanasia — has led to an generous outpouring from dog lovers.

According to a website set up to raise money for his operation, more than 2,000 of the needed 2,500 pounds has already been sent in — along with comments from dozens of well-wishers.

“Mr. & Mrs. Woods, you are super people and I hope our donation has helped toward the much-needed surgery for Samson,” said a message posted by “2 disabled pensioners.”

“Samson best of luck with the fund raising, I think your owners great for taking care of you. If everyone sends a little we can help.” read another comment. “Best of luck! Ireland.”

Then there was this: “Hi. My husband are the owners of 2 big dogs, both from rescue centres. We are not currently in a position to help financially. We live close by and this story brings me to tears … We are here thought to offer any other help which you need for Samson. We live 15 minutes away.”

It’s like I always say: Dogs bring out the best in people.
