The answer is Sam Cooper.
First of all, let's step back into history.
It all started with a blog.
A blog I started for my other pug, Winston.
The blog of Winston Wilbur.
Through this blog I connected with other pug bloggers around the world.
We read each others posts, commented on each others stories and before I knew it friendships developed.
Over time we eventually connected on Facebook.
As our networking grew a Facebook pug group was created.
Over the months a network developed.
Soon it was pug people adding other pug people and more friendships developed.
Then came The Gathering 2012 in Indiana. A gathering of the pug group from Facebook.
September 2012....
I boarded a plane to a city I had never been to. To meet people I had never met in person.
Fate
It was there that I met Jay and Jeremy.
The people who brought Sam and I together.

This is the picture that changed my life.
A picture that Jeremy posted through social media.

A rescued stray found dodging cars on the Sam Cooper Blvd in Memphis.
A stray named... Sam Cooper.
Jeremy uploaded this picture onto the Pug Facebook group.
Sam heading home with Jay and Jeremy... for fostering.
I took one look at Sam's eyes and KNEW he was the one!
Social Media
The application went in to Cheryl at Midsouth Pug Rescue.
I was approved.
The question was...
How to get Sam Cooper over 2000 KM to his new home.
Through the help of the pug peeps in the Pug Facebook group, through Winston's blog, and local pug friends, donations were made and enough money was raised to fly me to Tennessee to bring Sam Cooper home to Vancouver, Canada
On December 1, 2012 Sam Cooper was officially adopted by me.
