Welcome . . .
to the largest Golden playground in cyberspace! Since 1997 we have been helping others strengthen and proactively lengthen "The Bond". And, we are providing cancer treatment grants for working dogs and funding research in comparative oncology.

Long devoted to championing the human-canine bond, our knowledge and spirit have been strengthened by the important work of such visionaries as Dr. Allen Schoen. A believer that all animals have emotions and feelings, Allen began his research into natural healing in the 1970s, at a time when his colleagues neither understood nor cared about what he was doing. The tender image above of 'paw in hand,' that graced the initial printing of his book, Kindred Spirits, gives visual reminder to the power of The Bond—so framing those actions on the behalf of our vital animal companions.

Advancing our Mission
Celebrating our 11th year on the web, our educational and charitable nonprofit is promoting cancer awareness, providing Cancer Treatment Grants for ALL breed Working Dogs, and actively funding research in comparative oncology.
 

Work continues on our Gotta Dance Documentary as we prepare for a Winter 2008 debut. The film Championing the benefits of the human-canine bond, it will hopefully aid in our fundraising efforts. The clip here is a brief look into the film.

We have now signed on Brandon Walkera very talented musician/songwriter/performer who will be creating an original musical score for our film. You can learn more and hear him perform here.

To both strengthen and proactively lengthen the bond, we provide storytelling, interactive activities, and several hundred pages on canine rearing, holistic health practices, and motivational learning. And, our Blogwhere there is sometimes laughter and sometimes tears always provides food for the soul.


A Guiding Philosophy
LIVE LOVE LAUGH and LEARN forms the central theme and structure of our huge 1,200+ page website. It actually came about as a special tribute and can be seen on the logo that adorns the bottom of every one of our site's pages. So, do be sure to Live and Learn, see Loyalty at Work, and Love and Laugh
 

The lessons these furry angels teach us are never ending, so inspiring a new respect, appreciation, and celebration of life. For that reason, we encourage folks to share their own tales of discovery. Dr. Schoen very wisely reminds us, "Far from a luxury, pets are now recognized as a necessity—friends who fortify us daily with their gifts of love, loyalty and laughter." Yet, our shared affinity for Golden Retrievers is noted in his special adage, "G-d made dogs and then when he perfected them, he created Goldens."
