More: Scout is a 2 year old Golden Retriever and our best friend. We are 9, 6, and 5 and know that even though he's only two, he's actually 14 in dog years. That means he's like our older brother. Dad says he's a good retriever of birds but, we know he's an even better snuggle buddy. He likes running around in the fields here in Colorado. Dad wanted us to say he also likes using his Orvis couch bed as a pacifier!
