"This is Guiness! He is a 14 and a half year old Golden Retriever from New Providence. Guiness is the sweetest dog, who truly has a heart of gold. He has brought our family so much happiness through all of these years, and he fills our hearts with so much love.

He is so funny to watch, with all of the crazy things he does sometimes. Now that he has gotten older, he likes to lay in the back yard and watch the squirrels run around, but back in his younger days, boy did he love running after them!

He even has a favorite squeaky toy which is a stuffed squirrel. Everyone that meets Guiness loves him and boy is he cute!"
