There’s something incredibly special about the bond between a human and their dog. For me, that bond comes in the shape of a beautiful, golden-furred best friend — my Golden Retriever. Every day, I’m reminded why I love this gentle soul so much. From the moment I first brought my Golden Retriever home, I knew my life would never be the same. His soft eyes were filled with warmth and curiosity, and his wagging tail seemed to say, “We’re going to be best friends.” I was right. He greets me every morning with excitement as if every new day is the best day ever. No matter how tired or stressed I might feel, his enthusiasm instantly lifts my mood.
