Can any of you help me find this dog please?

[JeanetteDanielsBenziger]

My three year old DS lost his favourite toy a couple of months ago.

He was called Sam the dog and was bought from pets at home about two years ago.
I've contacted pets at home but got nowhere and internet and eBay searches bring up Sam as in sad Sam and honey.

DS keeps talking about how Santa is going to bring him a new Sam the dog :-(

Sam was brown and white, sitting around 20 inches high......would any of you have seen these for sale anywhere, or maybe you have one your children have outgrown that I could please buy?

Failing that... Anyone got a good cover story for Santa as to why he couldn't bring a new Sam the dog?

Have you got a photo?

[DishwasherDogs]

This?

[DishwasherDogs]

Oh, sorry, looks like it's not available any more.

[JeanetteDanielsBenziger]

That wasn't him, but thank you.
Will see if I can find a photo, bound to have one....Sam was never far away from him.

[JeanetteDanielsBenziger]

Sam the dog is sitting behind the sleeping boy :-)

[JeanetteDanielsBenziger]

This ones a bit dark.

[insanityscratching]

Any of these any good?

[JeanetteDanielsBenziger]

insanity The top two are Sam but grey and white rather than brown and cream, DS won't be fooled (how hard would it be to dye a cuddly toy?)

[JeanetteDanielsBenziger]

Thank you insanity
Forgot my manners for a moment.

Get the grey one and say he's aged a bit on his travels.

[JeanetteDanielsBenziger]

He's very similar slugs but it's not Sam, if DS was younger I'd try and palm him off but I'm worried the wrong one would upset him more than none at all, do you know why I mean? (I fear I'm coming off as being a bit precious, I really appreciate all of your help)

[JeanetteDanielsBenziger]

What I mean not why I mean

Could Sam have gone on some mission as he was all grown and your son did such a good job looking after him, add a letter and some pics of Sam on his mission.
But Sam has a little sibling who Sam has sent to your son to look after?

[JeanetteDanielsBenziger]

Thats a good idea!

[livelablove]

Yes good idea, Sam could send his younger brother and your DS emails about all his fun adventures helping Santa.

[JeanetteDanielsBenziger]

I've bought the grey and white one from eBay :-)
He will be Sams brother, named......?????

[madsadbad]

Maybe let son name him?

[RunawayReindeer]
