Sam was born in a snail village somewhere in the mountains. He came to live with Lesley when he was 6 or 7 years old. We don't know what that means in snail years. A dog is 1 year for every 7 human years. We think Sam might be 9 years old now but we don't know for sure. Sam has one cousin named Rhonda and an adopted Grandmother, Fiona Biddle. Sam loves to travel around to schools meeting students and eating their school lunches. He likes skateboarding, bug hunting, music, art, drama and telling jokes. He also likes dodge ball, tree climbing and river rafting but not in that order.
