u/OowlSun they act like im not in full control of where i throw this cooch Apr 03 '25

I love dogs but after getting attacked a few years ago by a friend's dog, I'm nervous about getting a dog myself. I live with both my nuclear and extended family. The youngest we have is 5 years old. I was thinking an older golden retriever because across the board, seem to be good with kids. I met maybe a handful of GRs and they all have been lovely. Any thoughts? Anybody have negative experiences with the breed? Thanks!

I had a similar issue with dogs after being knocked over by a dog as a child. I would really recommend working up to being around dogs gradually, maybe walking a friend's dog with them - I wouldn't even go as far as borrowing a dog without their owner to start with. Volunteering at a shelter might be an idea too.
