How we saved Britain's Biggest Dog: The battle for 20st Samson condemned to the kennel in the sky
Synopsis:
Nearly 20 stone of dog takes some handling. So imagine what nearly 20 stone of poorly dog means. It's just as well that Julie Woods - the owner of Samson, Britain's biggest dog - isn't the complaining type.
She's had to sacrifice her place on the family sofa because Samson, home from the vet after having his knee rebuilt, wants a 'comfy seat'.
The size of a Shetland pony, Samson isn't the daintiest of creatures at the best of times. Today, bandaged and dosed up on painkillers, he is lumbering more than usual.
