Uncommon card · No. 199724

Sam (November 7, 1990 – November 18, 2005) was a blind, pure bred Chinese Crested dog, and three-time champion of the annual Sonoma-Marin Fair World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Northern California in 2003–2005. His unique ugliness earned him international fame. His owner, Santa Barbara resident Susie Lockheed, took him in as a rescue dog in 1999 from his first owner. In 2005, Sam starred on Criss Angel's 2005 Mindfreak Halloween Special, which aired on the A&E Network. Sam played the role of Angel's cat, dressed up in a Halloween costume. Sam was featured on Japanese television, New Zealand radio and the Daily Telegraph in England. Due to age-related diseases, Sam was euthanized on November 18, 2005, just 12 days after his 15th birthday.
