I’ve always liked golden retrievers.

They’re just so quintessentially cute and happy.

Also I like the idea of being able to throw things and have someone go get them for me.

So to begin or end your day on a happy note–here’s a roundup of what I’m declaring the world’s happiest dog.

1. Head skritches ellict all the smiles

Don’t believe me? Try it yourself.

2. But belly rubs are even better

I believe this is called perfect zen.

3. They love their people from day 1

And they have so very much love to give.

Picked up Libby 7 weeks ago, this was her on our way home the first day. She is staring at my girlfriend. They are in love.

4. And they will never stop showing you just how much

Their love is real and pure and boundless, much like their energy.

9. They’re also HIGHLY trainable!

Look at this good doggo’s own seeing eye dog!

10. This little buddy knows how to get what he wants

And he waits so patiently too!

12. But most of all, these silly pups just want to have fun

Even if it means interrupting their sister’s photoshoot…

13. Because they really are photogenic

And they know it!

14. But they know when it’s time to get serious

“Speak softly and carry a big stick…”
If it was good enough for the Old Lion Teddy Roosevelt, who can argue?

15. And they know when to get together for a palaver

TOP. SEEKRIT.
