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:

Absolutely heart breaking stories!!
I am VERY sorry for all your losses!!
Our Baby Girl Molly has turned 7 now. Being a father of 2 boys the wife and I never had that girl until Molly came into our life! She made our family complete in every way! When I read #1 thru #19 I said to my self were doing great with her, we treat her exactly in this way! When I read #20, it brought tears to my eyes, just thinking of that inevitable day! I have told my wife on several occasions that I Will NOT be able to handle that day! Reading all your comments and # 20 I have changed my mind and when that inevitable day comes, I will be there for her to the end!! Thank you all so much for helping me !
