The Golden Family Reunion

The Golden Family Reunion

Meet Arlo. He’s a Golden Retriever. He spends a lot of time at the dog park with his mom and dad, playing with other dogs and having a blast.

One day, Arlo was at the park as he usually is, but this day was different. He was playing with Jordan, his father, and his favorite ball.

All of a sudden he stopped. Arlo had spotted another Golden Retriever across the park. He dashed across the park to meet the other Goldie. This came as no surprise to his dad since Arlo loved playing with other dogs. But, something seemed different about this interaction.

Usually, Arlo would wait for playmates to come to him, but this time they both ran to each other as if they knew each other. Immediately, they started playing, wrestling, and chasing each other around. Was this a long-lost friend?

His mom, Gina, shared that it was the happiest she’d ever seen Arlo. What was going on? Jordan engaged the other dog’s dad in conversation. He figured it was just a buddy of Arlo’s he hadn’t met yet. Then they realized that both dogs had the same birthday.

Baker, the other Golden Retriever was also born in the same place as Arlo. Suddenly it became clear. Arlo and Baker were from the same litter! It had been a year since they separated, but they recognized each other immediately. Both parents want to keep the dogs in each other’s lives, but their busy schedules and distance make it difficult. They are, however, planning another family reunion for Baker and Arlo.

Till then, Arlo will have to play with the other dogs at the park until he sees his brother again. Hopefully, they meet again soon!
