When it comes to Golden Retriever, we often think of the good qualities of this breed such as loyalty, affection and intelligence. Perhaps that is why there are many good stories about this breed that touch many people.

Accordingly, the story about the Golden dog posted by a girl on the Sohu page (China) recently attracted a lot of attention from the online community.

The girl shared that 5 years ago, while walking for exercise, she came across a skinny Golden Retriever digging through the trash for food. Seeing the little dog trembling and seeing everyone running away in panic made the girl feel sorry for him.

Golden Retriever is not a cheap breed of dog, so just by looking at it, you can tell that this little dog is seriously ill and that’s why he was thrown out on the street like that. Even though she knew this, despite her family’s objections, the girl still insisted on taking the Golden Retriever home to treat and care for him.

Luckily, although the puppy had severe pneumonia and serious fungus, thanks to the girl taking him to the vet in time, he was saved.

Seemingly knowing that the girl was his benefactor, the little dog always clung to his owner, and even after the girl got married, he refused to eat for many days to follow his owner. The girl’s newlywed husband also loved this Golden dog so much that he immediately agreed to take the dog to their newlywed home. Everything went smoothly like that until the time the owner was about to give birth to their first child.

Because it was the last months of her pregnancy, her mother-in-law came to stay with her to take care of her. She thought that the Golden dog was useless except for being hairy, potentially harboring many unclean things that could have a bad effect on the mother and the newborn. That’s why she constantly scolded the useless dog, made a big fuss in the neighborhood and insisted on selling the Golden dog. Under pressure from her mother-in-law and advice from the surrounding neighbors, the young couple had no choice but to find a new owner for their pet dog.

The mother-in-law’s cold attitude and the fact that many strangers came to see made the dog seem to realize something. Despite the mother-in-law’s dismissive attitude, the Golden dog always obediently stayed by her side. Especially every time he saw her going to the gate of the residential area to get goods for her daughter-in-law, the Golden dog resolutely ran after her. Then he insisted on bringing the goods home instead of her. The image of a person and a dog going out to get the goods, then the dog carrying the goods back made everyone in the residential area feel amused.

Because her due date was approaching, the girl ordered a lot of things online, and her mother-in-law had to go get them for her almost every day. But because she was old and had joint pain, having to suddenly move around a lot made her a bit tired. Seeing that, one time when she went to get the goods, the Golden dog ran ahead and got the goods for her. After that time, the dog insisted on going to get the goods for her mother-in-law, regardless of sunny or rainy days. The Golden dog was so smart that because he knew that his owner’s mother-in-law did not like him, after bringing the goods home, he only stood far away and wagged his tail to greet his owner, not daring to come close and cling to her like before.

This made the owner moved to tears, she tried to convince her mother-in-law once again to keep the Golden Retriever.

As for the mother-in-law, she was also very surprised because despite her harsh attitude in chasing the dog away, the dog still persistently helped her, so she gradually developed a good impression of her. Seeing the close relationship between her daughter-in-law and the dog, she finally couldn’t bear to sell the dog.

The Golden Retriever was eventually kept, to the great joy of its owner. After the girl gave birth, he even became the baby’s “nanny” and accompanied her.
