From bubblehead1958, Michigan
Absolutely the most gentle, loyal, kind, loving dog I have ever owned. Sam
is 130 lbs. of compassion. Everyone who meets him at first is intimidated by his
massive size, yet within seconds they are in love with him. Not only are
Newfies great with children, they are equally wonderful around elderly and
almost instinctively know to be gentle.
