Everybody's friend, the golden retriever is known for its devoted and obedient nature as a family companion.
The Golden Retriever's kindly expression says it all. This is one of the finest family dogs in the world: cheerful, demonstrative, trustworthy with everyone, and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Golden Retrievers are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Golden Retriever owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Golden Retriever owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Golden Retriever Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

Just read the 20 things a Golden Retierver owner should never forget. I lost my two Golden’s 3 years ago within two weeks from each other. They were father and son, Bud was 17 years old and his son Max was 14 years old. Seeing these pictures my heart is hurting all over again. You can never forget the happiness these Golden’s bring to your life.

I read this, ran to my Golden and gave him a huge hug and some treats. He probably was wondering what was going on.

My golden has a tumor now. He’s 12 years old and still enjoys his walks. He’s my beautiful boy whom I love dearly. I will do whatever I can for him. I will be there when it’s his time.
