Edwin S Baker & dog

A photo of Edwin S Baker and his dog. I think this is the dog who passed away while Sam was at boot camp. Sam tried to get leave to go home to bury him...it almost worked until he was asked how he was related to him.

A man's best friend is right! Edwin Baker tried to get leave from boot camp when his dog passed, but when asked the family relationship his request was denied.

Sad that the dog passed as it sounds like they had a wonderful relationship. Great family story with a funny ending! I could just imagine the response from his military superiors.
