Instinctive love of water
Do you know what happens when you take a golden retriever to a park with a lake? There is an unusually strong magnetism between the two. My friend was dogsitting, and we thought it would be nice to take my kids and her dog to the park for the day. We underestimated the power the lake would have over the dog. The police warned us more than once to keep the dog out of the lake, but Sophie (the dog) didn't care if we landed in jail. The third time the dog overpowered my friend, at least it was in a spot where the police could not see. It was a hot July day, there was a nice lake to swim in, and golden retrievers were made to swim! So here is my friend "swimming" the dog on a leash.
I just looked on Wikipedia, and it states that the golden retreiver has "an instinctive love of water." Yes, I'm well aware of that. Tell that to the park security!
After Sophie's illegal swim in the lake, here is Annie rewarding here.
