I highly recommend a Golden Retriever. They are incredibly friendly and great with kids, making them perfect family pets. Their playful nature and willingness to please make training a breeze. Just be ready for all the shedding, especially during the change of seasons.

Golden Retrievers are amazing companions. They are intuitive and loving, which makes them superb therapy dogs. I’ve seen how my dog connects with people; it’s heartwarming. However, they do require regular exercise and mental stimulation, so keep that in mind!
