After we had Charlie Brown a couple of years we got another dog. He was a cute long haired black dog that had been dumped by someone up our country road. We saw him hiding in the brush and we were worried about him so for several days we brought him food and tried to befriend him. He must have been abused by the one that dumped him as he had a real fear of people. After a week he began to trust us and one day he came to our home by himself. From then on he was part of the family. My son wanted to name him after his favorite book so he became "Black Sambo" or Sambo for short. Charlie Brown seemed to love him just as much as the rest of us and they became good friends. They spent many a day digging moles, running around our 8 acre property, laying in the sun and occasionally getting themselves in trouble. They made a good team when it came to digging moles. Charlie Brown would take the right side and Sambo the left, then they would dig toward the center until they had the mole. This kept the moles in check but did a number on the yard.
