Was at grocery store and this woman asked if she could pet Dunc the golden retriever.

I said absolutely I grabbed his leash he jumped out of the car after I put the groceries away and she loved him for quite awhile. Todays her seventy second birthday.
And her daughter with her told me that her parents her father passed in 2021 always had golden retrievers her parents last best boy went over rainbow bridge she told me in 2019

Just made my day seeing this woman smile and love my furry boy. And after a considerable amount of lovings from the birthday girl Dunc went in for the big lady killer I’m a player move all the ladies love me.I’m gonna roll over and you can rub my belly because clearly we’re now in love with each other.

I just came from the grocery store and, sadly, there were no dogs to be loved. What a great start to the day for that woman and her daughter. Sounds like Dunc enjoyed it, too. I love these Duncan stories. Keep ‘em coming, please.

A Sottish Terrier and a Golden...and no matter what I did, no go.

I love Goldens and if I could, I would have one along with my Scottie. However, only small dogs are allowed where I live.

Every time I see a person walking a pure white Husky I desperately want to go hug and ruffle the ear of the Husky (not the human).

I had a pure white Husky for 10 yrs before I had to put him down.

I miss you Balu…so much 😓

we are on vacation and at a rest stop this teenager asked to pet then proceeded to give my dog a massage for ten minutes. He was in heaven the rest of the day! His name is Robbie. He's 6 1/2.

His wife died 3 years ago. He is all alone now and has depressive days. We are all trying to help him. They are great dogs!
