Our Goldens are our children. Our first, a male named Rudy, was perhaps the smartest animal I've ever known. In many ways, much smarter than any human child I've seen. (And way better behaved).
He passed away a couple of years ago.
Our Second, a female named Frannie, is the second smartest animal I've ever known. Very cuddley. Always coming up and placing her head on my knee, looking up with those big brown eyes.
This is a personal thing I know, but I can't for the life of me, figure out why anyone would prefer one of those nastly little human children
over a loving, affectionate fur child like a Golden.
