Harley, the Dog of the Day
Name: Harley
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Male Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Illinois, USA
 
   Harley is a remarkable companion. He came to live with us at age six, and was happily adopted by me, but reluctantly by my husband. I was still working at the time, and my husband was retired. Within a week, guess whose dog he was? Now he follows my husband everywhere, and in the morning, he will not go outside until my husband is out of bed.

    Harley is smart, too - he can tell his toys apart. If you ask him to get his bear, he will dig in his basket till he finds the bear. If you ask him to get his duck, he will hunt around the house till he finds it.

    Harley knows when we are not feeling well, and will sleep at our feet until we are up and about again.

    Neither one of us had had a dog in decades, and we are amazed at what a difference he makes in our lives every single day!
