As soon as the pup is safely in his car, Takis can't help but admire the puppy. "Look at this beautiful face," he says, noting this particular puppy still has a blue collar on

Takis takes Samu back to his shelter, which is nestled on a mountainside amidst an olive grove. At any given time the shelter is home to 300 dogs.

Samu was shy at first, but the puppy soon relaxes around the other animals and begins to play with the other dogs at the shelter.

It doesn't take long for Samu to catch the eye of a foreign visitor, who fosters dogs for Takis in her home in Finland. Samu is soon in Finland and befriends two other dogs rescued from Takis Shelter. He is on his way to having the happiest life!.
