This dog's cherished apple is the chill moment you need to cap off a rough week

Sam!

We may be only 10 days into 2021, but it's been an exhausting week-plus. So please, let Sam the dog bring you a bit of cheer on this quiet Sunday in January.

Sam is a 5-year-old golden retriever who really likes apples. Or maybe just this one apple. Whichever it is, he is not letting go. Sam apparently retrieved the apple in question from a neighbor's yard. And honestly, I'm as confused as you are about why he'd be asked to let it go.

He clearly wants the apple, so let him have the apple. He's a good boy, apple thief or not.
