Sometimes, dogs locate people buried in avalanches, earthquakes or bombings and assist police in contraband such as drugs, explosives and illegally transported agricultural products.

Actually, nobody really knows which animals were the ancestors of this first dog in the world.

For me, I prefer to have a Golden Retriever as my faithful friend after saw a movie. In that movie, I saw how golden retriever to be trained as a guided dog and helping those blind people in performing their daily task and accompanying them. Golden retriever considered one of the most beautiful retrievers due to its outstanding golden colors. It is getting popular as it is easy to handle, very tolerant, a low-maintenance dog. Usually, golden retriever compatible with all people and other dogs but with this friendly nature make them turn out to be poor watchdogs. Golden retrievers are very active and having a high level of sociability towards people and equipped with the willingness to learn. Because of this, commonly they are used as guide dogs, search and rescue dogs.
