Doggo Owner Ponders The Golden Inclination To Hold Stuff In Their Mouths, Golden Retriever Enthusiasts Respond

Hey friends. Let's go ahead and tippy tap our way into the wonderful world of Golden Retrievers. Those delightful and lovable canines have totally captured the hearts of dog enthusiasts everywhere. But what's the deal with their endearing habit of carrying things in their mouths when they get excited? Well, it's definitely partially due to their history as exceptional hunting dogs! They don't call 'em retrievers for nothing. 

Back in the day, Goldens were bred to retrieve ducks and other waterfowl for hunters. That's where their innate love for gently holding stuff comes from! So when a Golden happily brings you a shoe or a sock with an ecstatic tail wag, they're simply embracing their retriever instincts, and being mighty cute while doing it if we may add. Golden Retriever owners from around the world chimed into our featured post with their heartwarming stories. Some Goldens have an undying affection for socks, while others go for plush toys and even laundry items! It's all part of their charm, as these bundles of joy celebrate life with their unique "gifts."
