This is Frank. He is the perfect example of why golden retrievers don't make good guard dogs. But they make wonderful welcome committees. 13/10 (TT: accordingtobelieve)

my parents gold dog is only ever a good guard dog when my dachshund is staying there. as he is infatuated with her and wants her to be his girlfriend so tries to impress her by showing how he is also very good at barking.
We were woken up at midnight by ours as she heard a taxi dropping off someone next door. It's all right for her, she can sleep all day. I've got to go to work !
Years ago we were X-country skiing on residential streets near Lake Tahoe on our way down to the shore when an unleashed Golden joined the tour and romped with us all the way. On the way back we went by his house to make sure he got home OK & the owner jumped out and accused us of dognapping 🤦🤦🤦
Our (outdoor) German Shepard guard dog was found lying on the couch of our emptied out home, asleep. We were convinced he wore himself out helping them load our stuff.
😳 our girlies must have been from the same vicious bloodline as yours. At least they look tough! Our Maxi was an RCMP K9 unit drop out.
Sorry to hear about your gear, but glad your pup was OK.
Having done Shipt for a year in 2023, I can confirm that every friendly welcome committee I received like that was showcased in the delivery photo as well.
Tucker the golden, and his buddy mishka, when I had my dog daycare, and someone called and said they had a Lab, or Golden, I knew it was okay to say yes, over the phone, due to their demeanours:) same went for Burnese but they went as plentiful :)
https://youtu.be/0uPPaXkO8Bc?si=431H037dNvSVj5RP a dog daycare I had in Newfoundland, but after 10 years of my neighbour, burning the plastic coating from copper wire almost daily it was time o move on. the person I sold to, now with terminal cancer
Awww! This is Hubble. He’s too young to be away from his mom yet, but he’ll be joining our fam in a few weeks. We can’t wait to bring home our own welcome committee. 🥰
He id gorgeous! We wanted a dog very much, but I had ALS and could hardly walk. The boys couldn't do it 3 times a day, so we got a cat, a tortoise and a rabbit instead 🤭.
I must disagree! Had a golden years ago named Samson. Raised from a pup with 2 Chow Chows I had. Such a sweet boy (to us) but wld bite your face off if he thought you might possibly harm his family. If he didn’t suspect you, he’d just grab you by the pants leg and pull you away from us. Protective!
I’ve watched this 10x and laughed harder every time. So cool. We have a houseful of German Shepherds… Fed Ex doesn’t even like coming to our door, and our dogs are inside. 🤦🏻♀️😂 Frank is a great pup! 💙
Love German Shepards, I grew up with them. I have Dobermans now-delivery people don’t like coming to my door either. I live in a deep red maga county so I’m OK that no one feels comfortable walking up to my door. ( pic: Me and Kelly back in the day).
One time a pittie leaned on me so hard during side scritches he knocked me over, then attacked me with 60+ kisses across a 3 second timespan. I barely survived.

Kind of like Canadians.
Frank is very handsome!
A Golden Retriever?
i feel like you’re mocking Frank.
Frank is tougher than you think.
no squirrel w/in 10 miles will steal that box.
“This is Frank. He is the perfect example of why golden retrievers don't make good guard dogs. But they make wonderful welcome committees. 13/10”
Delivery driver isn't. Not so much as a single pat or pet. 👎
Sadly I think that golden passed away a couple years ago.
My German Shepherd barks like mad every time she hears the truck, it’s how I know the mail is being delivered.
If you wanted a one-family dog, why get a Golden!?
Frank is a beautiful goodwill ambassador.
Ours…
They despise strangers though!
You are always in danger of having your skin licked off by a pittie. 🤣
