Sam Pittman and daughter Brandy lost their beloved Dalmatian "Chelsea" of 12 years last week.

This week, they paid her the highest tribute possible by saving two more abandoned and homeless Dalmatians. Sam and Brandy adopted 3 year old "Shadow" to be a companion for their black lab Domino since it was obvious she also missed Chelsea dearly. The two pups are already becoming fast friends and Shadow is stuck like glue to Sam's side.

As an even higher honor to Chelsea, they are also fostering poor Patch, a 4 year old homeless male Dalmatian with heartworms. Patch will receive all the loving care he needs with Sam and Brandy during his heartworm treatment so that he can get well and go on to find a home of his own.

The best part about rescuing these poor animals is the extra special kind-hearted people we meet along the way. Sam and Brandy definitely fit that bill!
