Young Sampson (or Sam) the Black Lab Mix was just over a year old when he came for his in-studio photo session. His most notable trait (besides his charm and good looks) is his black-spotted tongue, so he’s possibly got something from the Spitz family down the line somewhere. He was a total hoot to photograph, and may or may not have been a bit of a diva :)

Oh, and did I mention he’s also a fabulous upside-dog?
