Our current Golden Retriever, Raven doesn’t bring a gift, but we’ve had other dogs that did. Maffy our Border Collie Lab mix used to always bring a gift. Thanks for sharing.

I believe there is one piece overlooked, a point so touching about a Golden’s personality. I have had two wonderful Goldens and now have my third. I have seen this trait in the first.and now my third pup, but my second one was all into this. I learned that all her canine family was as well. That trait is the greeting of others with a gift. She would usually grab one of her toys, but if one wasn’t immediately available she would grab anything. A piece of paper was better than nothing. People always thought she wanted to play. However, she needed a gift but didn’t let go of it. It was so cute. My current pup will sometimes hold on to the hand of the one she is greeting!
The tail wagging, sometimes smiling and crying, accompanied with a gift in mouth, what better greeting can one get?!
