I came crashing in like a wrecking ball

Wow, that dog is really fast!
Golden Retriever? You should call it a Golden Standbyer.
You mean bystander, right?
Yeah, technically speaking, I guess so.
A Golden would have to throw three balls at once to get its own ball 😭
Well, a Labrador could still grab it before the Golden does 😭
When I was a teenager, we had a Golden at home. I read somewhere that you can test a dog's intelligence by covering its head with a towel and watching how it reacts. If it immediately lowers its head and pulls the towel off with its front paws, it's supposed to be smart. Our poor Golden just turned its head left, then right, and then slowly walked into my truck. I took the towel off and hugged it. I knew it would be stuck with that towel for a long time. Oh man, I really loved that dog.
I don't think Goldens are stupid. I think they know what's going on but just don't care to get involved. They're a very loyal breed and generally trust their owners completely. Maybe there was a reason for putting the towel over its face. So what if it can't see? As long as its owner is there, everything will be fine. For what it's worth, our Golden never showed affection to anyone except when food was involved, but it passed the towel test every time. It just couldn't stand tricks. Give it chicken or don't waste its time.
You don't call it a Labrador observer, though.
I really envy people with dogs that love fetch. Our dog looks at me like, "Your duty is to take me on an 11-kilometer walk up a 360-meter mountain, or I'll die of boredom." Back when you could see the curve of its ribs, I never even thought about things like that.
