Video of the Day: Goldzilla!

What’s big, hairy, and very, very friendly? A golden retriever! That is, according to the hosts of the annual Goldzilla: the Golden Retriever Fun Fair and Walk for Rescue, an annual event held in Shoreview, Minnesota. All proceeds benefit Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota (RAGOM), a Golden Retriever rescue organization serving Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota. This year, more than 300 goldens–along with their owners–showed up. There were plenty of other breeds represented as well. Check out this great footage from a worthwhile and fun event! If I lived closer, I definitely would have gone with my own golden, Goliath.
