There were three Goldens at the fair, certified therapy dogs, and when this man saw the Goldens he immediately wanted to go over to them. Once there he told me that he had a Golden when he was living in his home, and he couldn't say enough about how much he loved her. This beauty brought back those precious memories for this man.
We used to bring our goldie into the rest home where my mother was and he would just go over to someone seemingly in a catatonic state and put his head on their lap! The hands would come down.
