The pooch in question,nothing to do with AF though!

[wilsond]

Thought you might like to see him

[Hilly22]

Aww he's gorgeous❤️ thank you for letting us see him. Melted my heart xx

[wilsond in reply to Hilly22]

He does that! Lovely old chap xxx

[Hilly22 in reply to wilsond]

Best dog I ever had was a golden retriever called Oliver. We had to leave him with my parents when we moved to Hong Kong for a year and when we came home with twins he was so gentle with them. Only time he ever growled was when a stranger approached them. I'm crying now xx

[wilsond in reply to Hilly22]

They are a special breed indeed. Xxxx

[wilsond in reply to wilsond]

Me too..

[wilsond in reply to Hidden]

He has a lovely face it must be so difficult for you to have to eventually say goodbye ...Met a lady today whilst out walking my own dog who having just lost her beloved pooch has has a tattoo of him on her wrist she said it is her way of coping with the heartache..Cx

Aw wilsond you have reminded me so very much of the heartache of losing my beloved Golden Retriever Paddy. That was 2008 & I still miss him every day. Just so thankful for the years we shared. Monty looks so much like him, very handsome. I've got Molly now who will be 11 this year, another Golden Retriever. Beautiful breed. 🐶💖

Yes they are indeed! He is our second. Just big golden bundles of joy,so loving. Xxx

We had a golden retriever, Frankie, who loved and was loved by everybody. We still have a photo of my 18m old son clinging to her fur and learning to walk!

These pals of ours leave paw prints on our hearts. Really feel for you, such a sad time but can be a rewarding one.
