Have you ever heard people describing friends and partners as having dispositions like Golden Retrievers?

It may sound comical to compliment someone by telling them they’re like certain animals, but it’s never backhanded. It’s one of the sweetest.

See, Golden Retrievers are among the most adorable dog breeds around.

This is not to dismiss other dogs who are just as unique and endearing; a Golden Retriever’s sweeter-than-honey personality is worth highlighting.

A popular dog breed, Golden Retrievers are recognized for their hunting skills and exceptional fieldwork.

They’re great at search-and-rescue jobs, and when they’re not tasked to serve as guides for people who are blind, they’re simply basking in the joy of living while sprinkling love all around.

Golden Retriever owners will readily tell you how fun and comforting it is to have this breed around.

With a playful approach to life, Golden Retrievers make trustworthy family dogs.

Kids love being around this breed because the puppy-like behavior stays until the dog’s adult years!

If you’re too worn out from daily activities but need more outdoor time with your kids, take your Golden Retriever along for a fun game of fetch or plain running around, and you’ll see happiness all around.

Even cats love Golden Retrievers!

None of that stereotypical cats-and-dogs-hate-each-other setup for this home.

This Golden Retriever may be the cutest uncle-slash-godparent to these cats’ little ones!

Before the babies, the dog was already the kindest companion around.

The mama cat and the Golden Retriever would often be found cuddling up and even grooming each other!

Yes, it takes a village to raise kids, but sometimes, all it takes is a Golden Retriever.

The mama cat knew right off the bat that her canine best friend could be trusted with her kittens.

She never expressed any apprehension about the dog getting close to her babies.

The cat was more than happy about this.

Despite the Golden Retriever’s playful nature (and size!), it was always so gentle with the kittens.

Sometimes, all five kittens would be found settled comfortably under his fur!

The kittens always sleep soundly around the dog.

They seem to love its warm fur and how it makes them feel safe.

Of course, mama cat is always nearby.

She makes sure her eyes are always on her little ones, no matter how great she trusts her human parents and canine buddy.

Every precious moment shared between the mama cat and her kittens is witnessed by the Golden Retriever, who always looks at them happily.

Of course, the doting Golden Retriever gets his share of love and affection, too.

The owner makes sure the sweet and happy dog feels appreciated for all that it does.

Bringing so much happiness into a home is a tough job!

Add to that having to look cute all the time, too.

You’ll love the friendship between this dog and cat and how that friendship has extended toward the feline’s growing family.

Prepare to be all smiles as you watch this sweet interaction in the video below!
