Golden Retrievers are considered as one of the most friendly, domestic and popular dogs. In fact, they are ranked as the fourth most popular family dog breed in the United States. The Golden Retriever is very recognizable, probably due to its popularity and somewhat frequent appearances in popular culture. Indeed, they appear in several movies, series, commercials, books, and songs.
Golden Retrievers are also famous among celebrities: Pamela Anderson, Nick Carter, Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise and Tommy Lee, among many others, are known to own one or more Golden Retrievers. They are not only owned by celebrities, but they also play a very important role in modern families.
Golden Retrievers are also considered celebrities themselves in the Western culture. They appear in many American television series, including Punky Brewster and Sam.
Golden Retrievers are really involved in commercials. Not only were they involved in the Super Bowl commercials such as VolksWagen and Bud Light, but they also appeared in the half time shows of every game.

And I still insist that it is the law and the lawyer that make popular government under a written constitution and written statutes possible.”

“The purpose of education is to keep a culture from being drowned in senseless repetitions, each of which claims to offer a new insight.”
