We have raised a golden retriever puppy as our own child and now he has grown up. My son and him are best buddies. Our dog is very friendly and love to give a company to yours. We have good dog friendly community here and a community park near by. I like to take him out around for long walks which also keeps me active. I can send pictures everyday of your dog while they are staying with us so will not miss your buddy or family member. We also occasionally go out to beaches if your dog enjoys the beach. Feel free to ask me if there are any special requests if we shall be able to accommodate. We'll make sure that your dog feels at home.
