From day one, it was Rosie’s turn first brought her favorite toy to the puppy in hopes of cheering him up on his first day in his forever home. She even offered her favorite spot on the couch and her bed so that Mr. Fox would feel more comfortable in the new spot.

The American Kennel Club describes the Golden as ‘serious workers in hunting and field work’, but also as search and rescue dogs, guides for the blind, therapy dogs and more. Although “Retriever” is in their name, they do and are so much more.
With a playful outlook on life, Goldens like Rosie are loyal and eager to please their people, outgoing, making friends wherever they go, and so full of joy that it’s no wonder these pups top the “best” list every day. family dogs”. year. They are literally trained to be the best companion, whether retrieving waterfowl for a hunter, or as the one to physically and emotionally serve a person in need.
It’s no surprise that Rosie is so loving and caring when it comes to Mr. Fox. She was bred to be a helper and is doing excellently. If only there were more Rosies in the world who lived foreverthen no puppy or person would ever feel lonely again.
