When I was 5 years old I got a golden lab and we were best buds, he was a chill pup, always kept him active either by playing in the yard or taking him on walks around the neighborhood. I hate to see a dog trapped up in a house or even worse on a chain or kennel. I like to keep active myself so have a running buddy is always preferred. One thing I always remember doing when taking my dog out for a run is that they get thirsty pretty dang fast so keeping that good boy hydrated is a nessicity. I also have a perfect spot in my house, if your pet gets tired, to lay down and get some rest for a bit.
