This is my boy Chester, a 2 year old "English Cream" Golden Retreiver. His favorite toys are balls and sticks but he doesn't like to share. No matter what we try he will not return a ball so it can be thrown again for him. He prefers it if we chase him, tackle him to the ground and forcefully remove the ball from his mouth. In this photo, my son Josh tried to make him look vicious but he closed his eyes and refused to play along.

There are a few people in this world that I hold as dear as my dog. They are usually the ones who, like my dog, just like my company. I think that we should all be like our dogs. I know I am.
