The last photo shows Mimi, snoozing out in front of the group. She was a trained bird dog, not an ordinary playmate, I was told. When Gene and Kathleen lost their house, garage, and cars, to a fire, Mimi alerted them and saved their lives. Sam recalls the event as follows:
The night of the fire, I was staying overnight at a friend's house...my friend's dad told me about it at breakfast the next morning, then we went golfing...dad didn't want to deal with me too that morning...I didn't think too much about golf that day. Mimi woke up and went to mom and dad's window and started barking and kept it up until dad heard her and got up to see what the heck was up. Dad could see the reflection of the fire on the tree leaves and got the rest of the family out of the house. What a dog!
