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…

Don’t know how anyone can keep their dog outside in the snow or summer heat. Wherever we are our dogs are, as far as possible, especially at home. They deserve to be treated like one of the family, they give so much unconditional love they should have even more given back.

I’ve cried many tears into my golden’s fur, but the hardest was when I held her in my arms and rocked her when she crossed the rainbow bridge, She was the best.

#20 is a killer. We had our 1st golden retriever for 15yrs and the day we put her down was one of the worst days of my life. Like a piece of your heart is ripped open. It took a number of years and other rescue animals before we decided it was time to bring another golden girl into our lives. Best decision to seek out adopting a rescue golden retriever. Not sure who rescued who & all I know is it feels good!
