If all dogs go to heaven, the golden retrievers' section probably looks like Golden, Colorado. At least Golden as it looked on Feb. 4.
This Saturday, everyone and their dogs — literally — descended on downtown Golden to celebrate National Golden Retriever Day. While the national day falls on Feb. 3, the city celebrates its Goldens in Golden event on the closest Saturday.
The annual event draws thousands of local and out-of-state golden retrievers and their families. Golden businesses were going to the dogs, as they offered special treats for the pups, including photo booths, pup cups and discounts for their owners.
The day of fun and frolicking under the sunny Colorado sky likely left everyone's dogs barking.
