With Love and Hugs Your new friend, Sam Can you help Sam and his friends? One afternoon Grandma Kimmy told Sam, You need to write a book to help your buddies with their problems. Meet Sam, Marley, Penny, Gus, Lou, Riley, CeCe, Zoe, DaVinci, Mabrey, Slinky and Maddie, just like people-- dogs and a deer need help too! Sam tells his buddies, You are not alone. Everyone has problems. Sam and his buddies agree that together, we can help each other. Together, we can overcome anything that comes our way. Sam and his friends hope you feel that way too! They need You!!
