This second story about the beautiful dog Sam is, just as SAM SHOWED UP, based on a real dog, a real story, and real dog-owners: my brother's family in Canada. In this book the dog disappears and 9-year old Kix sets off in search of him. The book is just as dear to me as the first one. The beautiful black and white illustrations were once again made by Philip Hopman, whose pencil masters all animals and all children.
- The Dutch Translation Fund made a special on both the books about Sam -
here.
- This book can be read separately, or as the follow-up book of
SAM SHOWED UP.
