Why Golden Retrievers Make Such Loyal Companions

Posted on November 30, 2020 by Galen Kauffman

When you first pick up your dark golden retriever puppy, you and your family are doubtless excited to add a cute bundle of fur to your home. Over time, you come to appreciate your pup more and more, in large part because of the companionship it provides.

But what is it that makes golden retriever puppies such great companions? A lot of it has to do with the symbiotic nature of our relationships with our pets. Just like us, dogs are social animals that crave affection and personal attention. They want friends! When we provide love and care to them, they naturally want to reciprocate.

Dogs bring a positive attitude to any situation. They are loyal and kind, always greeting us happily when we return home. Dogs provide unconditional love that isn’t dependent on how we feel or act, making it easy to love them back.

Golden retriever puppies are especially loyal companions, and have been known to take care of other animals (including cats). This makes it little surprise that they are often used as therapy dogs to provide emotional warmth and optimism to peoples’ lives.

Perhaps the ultimate reason why golden retriever puppies make such good companions is that they bring love, comfort, and warmth to everyone.
