i'd like to think that if i were a golden retriever, and if i were to have a doting owner who spoils me with doggy treats and bacon streaks, who takes me out to the beach for a walk every weekend, who allows me to sleep beside him/her at night, who doesnt mind having my fur and dirty paw prints all over his/her floor, who tells me about his/her problems despite the fact that the only comfort i can ever offer is a bark and a sympathetic look with my puppy eyes, who allows me to stick out my head out of the car window whenever he/she drives, who tickles my tummy and pats my head every morning, who showers me with plenty of attention and tender loving care, then i would be a very happy dog.

i would probably be happier than half the human beings on earth.
