We lost our Golden in June of 2007. I wasn't sure it it was too soon, but I saw a photo of 1-year-old Duke and fell in love. He had two former names (Jethro and Byron), and was about to be returned to a shelter for the 2nd time due to his giant size. But then I saw his face and the rest is history. He's 8 years old now and is one beautiful, happy boy!
