ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — ABC Action News is bringing you a big boy this week in our Pet of the Week segment.
Sampson is a 6-year-old, 82-pound Labrador Retriever mix who needs a loving home. He comes from Pet Pal Animal Shelter.
According to the American Kennel Club, Labrador Retrievers are America’s most popular dog breed. They are medium-to-large dogs who bond well with the whole family.
Labs need a good amount of exercise and enjoy swimming or games of fetch.

Shelter workers say Sampson is the strong and silent type, but a simple scratch behind his ears and he becomes a lovable guy. He would do best with a family who will help him with his "Weight Watchers" program.
Sampson is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $200.
