All dogs are wonderful, but golden retrievers are a special kind of breed.

Their kind and gentle demeanor can’t be matched in the canine world and they have a reputation for being great family dogs for a reason.

And it looks like they make great parents, too!

A TikTokker named Lolo posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers how her dog Harlow reacted when he saw his precious puppies.

Lolo asked her dog, “Do you love all of the attention?”
