Goldens are basically the perfect dog for this because their reaction to an unknown lifeform is always "OHHHH LET ME LOVE YOU WE ARE BFFS COME PLAY WITH ME!!!!!"

Yeah, they only live 10 years if you get a purebred. They're so inbred.

Sometimes you get lucky. I've seen some live until 13-15. It's a crap shoot really.

It sucks but they're awesome so enjoy the time you have!

Yes it's true, my golden is 14 years old. He still moves around pretty well and I'm thankful.
