The boy is two years old. He has two older sisters and wants to do everything they do. He learns from them and stretches the limits of what he can do as he mimics their actions. He is thrilled every time he does a “big kid” thing. Doing the same as his parents pleases him too, though not as much.
The golden retriever is almost ten. The average life span for the breed is ten to twelve years. She loves walking with the family or running off lead. She also enjoys a dip in a stream, pond or the ocean. The water doesn’t have to be clean either, much to the chagrin of her family.
This day, the dog was off lead on the trail and ran hard and fast. She was tired on the way home. The boy wasn’t. He’d been in the stroller most of the way. On the way back to the house, he wanted to walk. The old dog walked beside him. The boy was thrilled.
They made a perfect pair.

What a great photo!
They are both so sweet. I sure wish dogs lived longer. They are the best companions but loving them means sorrow ahead. I just finished re-reading "The At of Racing in the Rain." I cried at the end, even though it was a somewhat happy ending. :-)
Hello,
They are the perfect pair, great photo of the boy and his dog. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!
That dog is well behaved by not dragging that child in his enthusiasm.
Oh my gosh darn!!!!
Wonderful companions - that's a big dog for a little chap!
That's a beautiful picture.

A good time to learn how to look after pets. Have a good weekend, Diane
A splendid shot!
What a lovely (and loving) pair. Long may they walk together.
That is the sweetest picture ever!
Charming.
What good memories...
I think the younger kids in a family grow up tougher than the older ones sometimes because they are always trying so hard to keep up with the older kids. I happen to be an oldest child.
SOOO sweet :)))
dear Marie your grand son copies his elder sisters and i am already smiling on his mimicry :)
