frank (left) and sammy

There is a lot of interesting history to be had about these two guys but their owner was on her phone and so only snippets emerged: Sammy is from Greece, Linda Ellerbee is somehow involved with getting dogs out of Greece (why and how unclear) and Frank came to New York to help out with the recovery/cleanup effort at Ground Zero, or rather his owner did, but appropriate housing couldn't be found for him and so he ended up bunking with Sammy. At any rate, they're both awfully friendly; couldn't be nicer. The Muttropolitan Diarist is keen to hear the longer version of their biographies, so here's hoping we all meet again soon...
