During my lifetime, I always remember having a dog. One of my first memories, actually, was the day I got a puppy for Christmas. Even though I was only 3 years old, I clearly remember opening that big, white box left which was left by Santa Claus. What I found inside, was a fluffy, adorable Golden Retriever puppy.
