Tofu needs more socialization! ❤ He seems like a big time extrovert who is often just home with mama and perhaps dad too. Like perhaps being a therapy dog at a children’s hospital or elderly home, visiting the dog park, schools, etc.

[@ruk2023--]

He's just being a golden retriever. The fact that he's so comfortable around humans is because he has been socialised.

Growing up we had a Golden Retriever who was so much like Tofu that it brought tears to my eyes. Whenever one of us came home, Robin HAD to pick up a fallen leaf and bring it up to welcome us with, and he would sniff with the leaf in his mouth the same way Tofu was doing with his toys. Robin was the sweetest, friendliest dog EVER. ❤

I have a beautiful pit mix who likes to play with other dogs, doesn't have a mean bone in her body, is always surprised and confused if another animal is aggressive or scared of her. Whenever she is at the dog park she goes to get love from other humans and will also try to leave with them too 😅 I swear she is well loved and treated at home, she just loves people.

[@tinyrocks7549]

My Springer Spaniel does this, but she’s learned to pick up and hold a toy in her mouth to help her contain her (over)excitement. Before she knew this strategy, she didn’t know what to do with her self around newcomers. When I see her almost imploding from happiness I remind her with a ”Where’s the toy?” and that gives her something to do.

It's not always about being heartless some people just don't like animals . Not liking pets doesn't make you heartless. Some people are deathly afraid of dogs or have allergies. For people who think they are so compassionate maybe extend some of that to people who don't like what you do.
