In that they can last a lifetime, canine friendships are comparable to those formed during childhood.
Ask Billie, the golden retriever puppy, who is 4 months old.
Emily Buchenberger, Billie’s mother, had no clue the young canine would make pals so quickly when she initially brought her to a puppy play hour.
Dogs from 8 to 18 weeks old are allowed to run around a gym unrestrained at this time. Billie might have entertained herself for hours playing with the several pups that were present. The golden retrievers in the space, however, managed to connect with one another.
The Goldens’ similar play styles caused them to click right away. The other 15 puppies at puppy hour might as well not have been present. The Goldens were glued to one another.
Buchenberger observed as the golden retriever pups established a covert organization. They met behind various playthings in secret rather than running around like the other puppies.
According to Buchenberger the goldens didn’t walk around or jump on objects. Under the objects, they almost exclusively played covertly with one another.
When the plastic box was removed from them, the puppies’ owners were startled to see them holding hands.
The puppies were all blissfully interlocked paws. They definitely had no idea that they would be discovered and dispersed right away. They soon came together again to sneakily play beneath the bridge.
