Book Description
Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called "Devil Boy" or Sam "Hell" by his classmates; "God's will" is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered, buoyed by his mother's devout faith, his father's practical wisdom, and his two other misfit friends.

Book Description
Sam was born of a male coyote and female golden retriever, and as soon as possible, was dropped off at a local shelter. The puppy mill had no use for him and treated him accordingly. He had no sense of belonging, and for the first 18 months of his life, Sam was shuttled between different owners and the shelter. He spent days at a time living with strangers, when he wasn't living off the land after a successful escape. Sam spent much of his life abandoned and left to live outside by those who adopted him. He became an expert at chewing through ropes and jumping over walls and fences in order to escape captivity. Most of his life during this period was spent living on his own near a running creek in Sedona, where he became adept at hunting and fending for himself, a gift he inherited from his father. We met Sam at the ideal time. Sam was just recovering from a water-borne illness he acquired from the creek, his favorite home until now. We were just recovering from the loss of a favorite canine companion. This book is the story of how Sam saved us and how we, in turn, saved him. It is a story of love and adaptability. Please enjoy this look into our lives and the miracle of Sam.
