Golden Retrievers are a familiar breed to many. They are gentle, obedient, and highly intelligent dogs, making them a truly fortunate possession. However, some people are greedy and abandoned their Golden Retrievers, leaving them to roam the streets. If it weren't for a kind stranger, the dog would have perished. Yes, this dog, abandoned by its owner due to illness, was a Golden Retriever, and the kind person who rescued it was the father of a netizen.
A critically ill Golden Retriever collapsed on the roadside. According to a netizen, it was late that night, and the father, who had to work overtime, was on his way home when he saw a large Golden Retriever walking alone on the roadside. He found it strange, as such a beautiful dog should have an owner; why was it out alone so late? Just then, the Golden Retriever suddenly collapsed. The netizen's father was less than 5 meters away from the dog. Being a kind-hearted man who often helps stray cats and dogs in the neighborhood, he couldn't possibly ignore the situation.
The father immediately rushed the Golden Retriever to the vet. After examination, the vet said the dog already had a serious heart condition, and if they had arrived 10 minutes later, it might not have survived. The vet even questioned the father, asking why he hadn't brought the dog in when it was so sick, waiting until it collapsed before bringing it to the vet. The father explained that he wasn't the owner and had only found the dog on the street. After this exchange, it became clear that this was likely another case of an owner abandoning a dog to avoid paying for its treatment. But since it had already happened, the most important thing now was to get the Golden Retriever cured.
Considering that the person who brought the dog in wasn't its owner, and that treating the dog would cost at least several thousand yuan, the vet politely asked if the owner wanted to continue treatment. Most people in this situation would probably choose to save it, given its already pitiful condition. It's understandable that a kind person would adopt it; the netizen's father did just that, saying without hesitation that he had to save it. Perhaps moved by the kind person's compassion, the Golden Retriever, wanting to repay the kindness, bravely endured the illness. After recovering, the netizen's family took the Golden Retriever home, but the netizen's mother still frequently worried about the treatment costs.
Father usually works, so the task of caring for the Golden Retriever falls to Mother. During their time together, she was probably touched by the dog's well-behaved and sensible nature, and gradually stopped mentioning the medical expenses. Although Mother took good care of the dog, it was still Father who loved the dog most in the family. A week ago, Father had to go away on business for a few days. The whole family knew this, but the Golden Retriever didn't. So, when it was time for dinner that evening, the dog realized its owner hadn't returned and started to panic, jumping around wildly. It only calmed down after seeing a picture of its owner on the phone.
The Golden Retriever became a "door god" from that time on. It would block the doorway, refusing to let anyone out, even eating and sleeping there. Netizens were exasperated and shared the story online. Many commented, "You'd better get your father back soon, or the whole family will be miserable!" While the Golden Retriever's behavior was a bit excessive, it was also its way of expressing gratitude for its male owner's rescue. In the Golden Retriever's mind, it didn't understand what a business trip meant and thought its owner was never coming back, so it resorted to using the owner's family as leverage.
Golden Retriever: Where have you taken my owner? If he doesn't come back, then you're not getting out either. Thinking about it this way, the Golden Retriever's actions are actually quite touching; it's willing to do anything for its owner!
