A golden retriever, not entirely convinced about his new puppy brother, finally softened when the young pup got stuck at the top of the stairs. The older, wiser dog ran to his aid, and the “firm buddies” have been inseparable since.
Diane Newton of Toronto, Canada, decided her 4-year-old golden retriever, Sterling, needed a playmate after watching him lie around on his own after his morning walks. In August 2021, a puppy named Colin joined the family.
“I can’t say Sterling was very happy when we first brought Colin home,” Newton, 56, told The Epoch Times. “He was the only child, used to getting the attention. Colin tried his best to get Sterling to interact, but he was having none of it; we were worried if we’d done the right thing.”
