Sammy the Dog Makes Buzzfeed List of 'Cool Dogs'

Sammy's 'fight for justice has captured the hearts of thousands.'

You have all laughed along with memes from Bumblesnot, and Chubbs the Wampug.

But this week, the Jersey Shore's own, sweet Sammy the Cocker Spaniel joined the ranks of Bumblesnot and Chubbs, as the popular website Buzzfeed named Sammy one of the "10 Senior Dogs On Facebook That Are Cooler Than You."

In the description, Buzzfeed writes: "Sweet Sammy was an abused dog brought in by his former owner in a garbage bag, close to death. His recovery and his family’s fight for justice has captured the hearts of thousands as we went from horror to joy, watching Sammy find health, love and happiness in his new life."

Last month, Keith Morgan entered pleas of guilty to abuse and animal cruelty, and filing a false report with police.

Shauna Morgan entered guilty pleas to two counts of abuse and neglect. A charge of abandonment was dismissed. Attorneys met for about two hours before the pleas were entered to arrive at the plea bargains.

Their sentencing was recently delayed until mid-November.
