My dog, Samson, is a Papillon I bought as an emotional support dog. My boyfriend asks who it is that needs the emotional support. I love it because he needs me as much as I need him! He is a reason to get out of bed in the morning, a listener to my ramblings, a critic of my singing, and a companion in all I do! Although my daughter is 22, married, and lives a state away, she refers to Samson as her brother, and he is the only male, other than her husband, with whom she danced at her wedding!
