One of the best dogs for children of all ages, Labrador Retrievers are kindly, good-natured, and take most things in stride.
Most Labrador Retrievers are very friendly with everyone, though compared to Golden Retrievers, many Labs are just a bit more conservative with their affections.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Labrador 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 Lab 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 Labrador owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Labrador Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

Our Lab mix, Amos, has been gone for over 10 yrs now. Not a day goes by that I dont miss him. I loved this story but think it applies to all pets. Animals bring so much joy to our lives and the pain we feel when they leave us never really goes away.

My lab Dougal was put to sleep aged 14, 7 years ago. I wasn’t with him (like I had been with all our other dogs) as I was in hospital having an operation for cancer. Two weeks later I woke up in the night to find him sitting at the side of my bed looking at me and telling me in his way he was fine and well and saying goodbye. It still brings tears to my eyes even now. At least. Had a chance to say goodbye.
