Hahahahahaha! Most of the goldies there were well behaved! There were some people - including Richard Durant - who "foster" the dogs for the association up until a certain age, then hand them over. That would break my heart!

I've saw a dog here once that must have been walking itself... It stopped at a pedistrian crossing and waited for the traffic (including me on my bike) to slow down before it carried on to cross the road.... No owner in sight.

A runaway? That surely does not happen often?

you can foster a dog for 2 years. During this time you have to take them to training and help with the training outside of that.

 

You also get a special "jacket" that allows you to take them anywhere and everywhere with you. Its kinda cool going into the mall with your dog and to work etc. Was very interesting fighting with shop/restaurant management when taking him out. Kinda like having a kid really.

 

If the dog is worthy, and passes all the tests after 2 yrs, you give the dog back, if it fails, you get to keep the dog, or it goes up for adoption.

 

Very sad having to give a dog away after 2 yrs, but someone needed him much more than we did.

Takes a very special person to be able to do that.
