When I think of Golden Retrievers, I think of one of the most iconic ones of all—Dug from the movie Up. The writers did a perfect job; he is the embodiment of golden retriever energy. In fact, whenever I meet a golden retriever, they just remind me of Dug. I mean, have you ever seen a golden retriever that didn't have that same wide-eyed, tongue-lolling enthusiasm that Dug has? It's like they're all genetically programmed to be the happiest and most excitable dogs on the planet.
So, yes, when I think of Golden Retrievers, I think of Dug and all the silly, goofy, and lovable dogs out there who just want to play and be loved—just like these 27 adorable Golden Retriever puppy pictures we've shared with you below. They truly are man's best friend—or, in Dug's case, squirrel's best friend.
