Golden Retrievers are regarded as some of the world’s friendliest canines.
I agree with that.
They are genuinely quite amiable with everyone, even complete strangers. A Golden doesn’t care if you’re a buddy, a member of the family, or even an outsider if he likes you. They are consistently friendly and adorable.
It makes sense why this Virginia family was unaware of their error.No other dog would ever voluntarily bring a stranger home, but a Golden would.
Only the family cats, who sniff everything, especially unknown dogs, were able to catch this amiable visitor.
The Friendliest Intruder
Dog daycare facilities are a boon. For dog owners who must leave their pets at home to go to work, they are the ideal option.
However, these daycares can actually be a bit of a curse.
Rarely does a Virginia family go through what they did one day. However, one time is too many, as they say.
Emmy, the Golden Retriever, and her family had a typical day. This adorable Golden girl enjoys going to dog daycare every morning. Spending quality time with her canine companions is invaluable.
Emmy’s family felt she needed a haircut that day, so they hired the daycare’s groomer to make their daughter look more attractive. Nothing out of the ordinary, is it?
When the family’s son arrived to pick up Emmy at the end of the day, things began to take an odd turn. Everyone thought it was the new hairstyle, but she did appear a little strange. They will adapt to it.
Some family members, however, realized right once what was wrong and made it obvious that they would never accept the alteration.
The family cats, who all adored Emmy and gave him cat kisses every day, realized it wasn’t the dog they all cherished. Rather, the cats began to attack the new Emmy, hissing at her and making it obvious that they didn’t appreciate what was happening.
When the new Emmy began licking faces—something the old Emmy never did—and when she failed to greet their beloved neighbor—something Emmy always did—the family realized it wasn’t their dog.
Let’s go to the vets! The microchip needed to be scanned as soon as possible!
All the veterinarian could confirm was that it wasn’t Emmy.
The puppy we picked up from the daycare was the wrong one. Fascinating Where is Emmy, our beloved? Is she still there, grieving, waiting for us?
When the family hurried to the daycare, they discovered that Emmy and the new Emmy were nearly identical Goldens. It was a sincere error that anyone could have made.
The two canines were given back to their original owners. Finally, Emmy—the genuine one—arrived home.
Imagine her worried expression as the son entered and took the other dog rather than her. The poor girl was obviously very sad and confused.
Fortunately, both dogs had microchips. This is the signal you’ve been waiting for if you’re still not sure if you should microchip your dog. After being microchipped, up to 50% of lost pets are reunited with their owners.
If microchipping hadn’t demonstrated its advantages, just think of how low that number would be. There would be too many lost dogs and broken hearts to handle.
The cost of microchipping is not very high. It costs only $20 or so at some veterinary facilities. You can spare an Andrew Jackson from your pocketbook if you want a dog.
