Having lost our Golden last year, that picture breaks my heart.

That’s the best way to go, no fear or torment for him, no heartbreaking decision for his people. Good boy. You’ll be loved and missed, until you meet your people again.

Goldens are great dogs, but they do seem to be quite prone to cancer. I used to be in a Yahoo! Canine Cancer Support Group when my Corgi was battling lymphoma. I think there were more Golden owners there than any other breed.

Oh, that dear dog.

I read about him, he lived about a half an hour from me. He was nothing but love wrapped up in fur.

Rest well, Maverick...

This is so sad. Back in 1988, my heart was stolen by my “little brother” — a golden retriever we named Tycho. He and I were very bonded, and he saw me as his litter mate rather than a human owner. He was the goofiest, dopiest, best natured dog.
At the end of his life, we bought a rottweiler puppy. They were together for about 6 months before Tycho died, and he was instrumental in teaching her dog stuff (toilet drinking, wrestling, couch hogging, mooching for treats, etc.) We also think she was tempered some by his incredibly sweet, patient nature.
Deland is not far from where I live. He was a local celebrity.

Our Golden is getting into a bad way also.

I’ll have nothing but good memories.

They are the finest most selfless companion dog on the planet.

I’m avoiding reading this just now.
My boy is 15 1/2 years old and fading.
The last few months have been a rollercoaster of emotions.

A dog “battling cancer”? Did he know he had cancer? Did he discuss the cancer with his doctors? Did he make decisions about his treatment?

Just lost my sister & BIL’s Labradoodle, Maddie, last week to cancer. She adopted our family 13 yes ago. We are heartbroken.

We lost our golden 3 months ago and we are still in mourning. We hope to get another golden in a few months and spend a lot of our retirement years with her.

God is all powerful but I think He would be hard pressed to put any more love than is in a golden. Total and pure love.
