Sam's squares: All about Me: Sam.
By Imogen Kate and Sam

Text reads: My Name is Sam. I was born on the 9th of March 2018 to be a guide dog. I am a sponsored pup (someone donated £2,500 to name me) and I was the youngest and smallest of eight. Photos show pictures of Sam's Mum (a black labrador) and Sam's Dad (a ginger golden retriever). Pictures show Sam as a pup with the rest of her litter.

Text reads: I was raised near Leeds by a lovely family for my first year. Then I went to learn how to be a guide dog near hull. On the 27th of September 2019 I met Ma for the 1st time. She fell in love but the trainer kept his lips sealed. On the fourth of october we had our matching visit and it was made official. We would be a team. On the 11th of october I stayed at Ma's with her retiring dog Laila. Laila told me I must look after her Mum for her. Laila knows EVERYTHING about Ma and guiding. IMages show Laila, an aging yellow labXretriever with Sam.

Text reads: We completed 3 weeks of intensive training and qualified as a partnership on the 8th of november. The rest is history. I was chosen for Ma because I am smart. This means I learnt the other skills Ma needs for her other conditions quickly. We are a team, I've got her back 24/7 and she's got mine. Images show Imogen and Sam together.
