Golden Retriever Gets A Furry Friend Of Her Own And They're Total Sibling Goals
Some pampered pooches get squeaky toys and crunchy treats, while others receive cashmere sweaters and diamond-encrusted collars, but the luckiest dogs of all are given pets of their very own. When a 4-year-old golden retriever named Pearl got a little mini-me puppy named Poppi, it didn't take long for the two goldens to become BFFs.

In a sweet TikTok video that's been watched more than 14,000 times, Pearl and Poppi play together, sleep together, share toys, and even wear little matching hats while eating tasty treats together. Their owner captioned the video, "Do you see her happiness? My best girl is becoming the best big sister 🥹🫶🏻💗."
Viewers loved watching the antics of the two new siblings. One wrote, "How adorable. Love seeing them together. So perfect xx ❤️❤." Another shared a somewhat cautionary tale about where getting pets for pets can lead: "I got my dog a dog, and then they needed another, and then I needed pairs. Now I have 4 dogs and my house is perpetually a disaster but in the good way. They're having fun and that's all I care about."
The benefits of having a pair of golden retrievers
Goldens are known to be one of the most loving dog breeds, making golden retrievers a good option to bring into a home with kids, cats, or other dogs. They're energetic animals that require a lot of exercise, and they can happily spend hours swimming in a lake or playing fetch in a backyard. These strong, intelligent dogs often act like playful puppies well into adulthood. Two goldens can do a good job of keeping each other entertained and active.
Due to their history as working dogs, goldens often enjoy having tasks to do. Their even-tempered, affectionate personalities make them particularly effective as service dogs and emotional support animals. Golden retrievers are so friendly and sociable that they can feel lonely when left on their own too often, so it's no surprise that Pearl quickly adapted to having Poppi as her little-sister shadow, and the two became a bonded pair. If only all siblings could get along as well as these two fur babies!
