Photos: Humane Society's Pet Of The Week

Representatives of the Connecticut Humane Society in Newington are hoping to find someone who wants to adopt Sammie, a purebred English Bulldog, and Patch's featured pet of the week.

Sammie is a two-and-half-year-old English Bulldog and enjoys the company of older children, dogs and cats.

"Even though he's a purebred, his type of English Bulldog is not that common," Public Relations Director Alicia Wright said in an email Friday morning.
