Labrador Banjo has been part of Samantha’s life since Christmas 2016, when the accomplished journalist bought the pet as a present to herself. 

In 2017, Samantha explained that it was the dependable personality trait of dogs that convinced her to welcome a fluffy friend into her life.

‘I have got no time for disloyalty,’ the Channel Seven star told Stellar in January 2017.  ‘That’s why I got a dog.’
