During an interview with Peta2 back in 2009, Justin revealed that Sammy became his "friend" after he moved to a city where he didn't know anyone. Sammy appeared in Justin's concert movie "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never".

Earlier this month, another Justin dog named Karma was allegedly thrown off second-story balcony by his father Jeremy Bieber. Karma's trainer Trevor Dvernichuk told TMZ that Jeremy initially asked him to take Karma and not bring it back until it was socialized but he later allegedly told police that the dog was stolen. Trevor said he would return Karma back after he got payment for his services.
