Name of pet: Kodi

Age: 9 years

Resides in: Greensboro

Breed: Samoyed

Male or Female: Male

Owner: Lisa Crawford

How owner and pet came together: (With the original owners) the kids left for college, the wife left the husband, and (he) moved in with his girlfriend (she did not want the dogs). The two dogs, Kodi and Miss Sammie were left alone for a year at his house. Someone dropped by to feed and water. Finally they were given up to Buckeye Samoyed Rescue in Ohio. My 15-year-old Samoyed had just died and I saw Kodi’s photo on Petfinder.com and applied to rescue him. They had to be rescued together. I only had a Mazda Miata, so I drove to Rice Toyota and bought a Scion for Kodi and Miss Sammi and drove to Ohio to pick them up in May 2005. They are my 6th and 7th Samoyed.

Best trick: Came with a Garfield stuffed toy. Kodi always carries a stuffed toy in his mouth and can catch in the air. Sometimes he even sleeps with the toy in his mouth

Favorite activity: Early morning walk around the park

Is there anything else we should know about this pet? (i.e., likes/dislikes, act of heroism, quirk etc.) They both starred in a TV commercial for Rice Toyota because they love their Rice Toyota Scion, they think it is a moving crate.
