Golden retrievers are among the most loyal dog breeds in the world. So it’s no wonder that they suffer when separated from their family, even for a few hours. Some become listless or lethargic, while others live up to their promise of “I won’t let anything keep us apart,” even if what’s keeping them apart is a door, or a wall, or a very tall fence. But smart pet parents know the way to keep a dog from acting out when lonely is to … not let them get that lonely. That’s why when Julian’s parents had to head back to the office after years of remote work, they called Lindsay Loves Pets to give Julian a break in the middle of the day. Far more than just letting him out to go potty, a visit from his friends at Lindsay Loves Pets gives Julian exercise, companionship, play, treats, conversation, and a chance to practice outside manners. We love that Julian’s parents recognized that there’s nothing wrong with their dog – just the dog’s circumstance – and got him the love he needs to bear being separated from his favorite people for just a few hours more.
