Golden retrievers who swear they did nothing

Two golden retrievers finish a spoonful of peanut butter, then keep licking their noses in perfect time for a good while after. The rest of this crew takes being silly just as seriously. more

One owner, unwinding after a hectic week, sings a song in a very high voice while her dog takes a nap. The dog wakes up and stares at her, plainly asking why naptime had to end.

Then there are the faces. One owner tries a few funny photo filters on a golden. Another golden looks crushed when it's -30°C outside and his human won't roll the car window down. One more has torn apart the cover on the steering wheel and now looks very, very sorry.

The puppies get treated like babies, and they play the part. One owner wakes a puppy the way a parent wakes a kid for school. A puppy in sunglasses hangs out by the kitchen sink, and another naps while getting pushed along in a stroller.

Some goldens get the full baby treatment, right down to a cozy carrier with a flap.

The best one comes from the backyard. A golden gets caught in the middle of digging a hole, and the answer is to lie down in it as if nothing has happened. It's a cover-up in the most literal sense.

Bold plan. Of all the places in the yard to look innocent, this golden picks the one that was just dug.
