Us hoomans have worked for centuries to get to the point where we have with our glorious golden retrievers. Through years upon years of breeding and educating, we have gotten to a point where we have become so besotted by our own creation that we are ready to give up our very souls for just a moment within their glorious presence.

However, this deep and desperate need for their attention means that we have gotten used to wearing our hearts on our sleeves, and being the cheeky chaps that they are, when they see the opportunity to run off with something they take it. But, they will not leave you empty-handed, after all this is what we have trained them for, and without a doubt they will come back to you, without your heart, but with at least a stick, if not a snack to replace it.

Literally anyone with half a brain, no gluten or dairy allergies, and of course anyone who covets the cuteness of canines would fall victim to this tempting treat. Though one must wonder if there would be a way in which the darling doggo could be convinced to bring the pizza and iced coffee with them, away from the trap, on the condition of getting to monch half of the nummies.

And this is precisely how you end up in a situation where a glorious golden retriever runs off with your heart and comes back with a stick to try and make you feel better. They unfortunately do not know that they are running off with your heart, but their intentions are good. It's like when you have them on a leash, and they suddenly see a squirrel who must be pursued.
