"Samson the Akita shepherd isn't an official Seeing Eye dog. That doesn't stop him from being a "guide dog" for his blind friend Delilah the Lhasa apso. When Barbara Fiero spotted the pair of strays wandering the highway, she noticed something strange: Samson kept nudging Delilah away from oncoming traffic. After Fiero brought them to her house, she discovered Delilah was blind. Samson has been leading Delilah as if he were her guide dog! Years later Samson still keeps Delilah in sight, checking on her constantly and standing guard when strangers are around. But he has mellowed a bit. "He lets Delilah sit by herself on the couch," Fiero says. "He just lies on a pillow nearby with his paws in the air."
