Below is a picture of my "rescued" Golden Retriever that I adopted in April with one of my grandchildren. He accompanies me to work every day and well deserves his name, Magnificent Max.

I highly recommend adopting from a breed rescue organization, or your local Humane Society, unless you are in the dog show business. Even so, I have a 'show dog' and faithful companion -- he just doesn't have 'papers.'

"I highly recommend adopting from a breed rescue organization"

Good idea.
