I'm wondering if Golden retrievers hind legs are just decorations.

Earlier today Dunc front paws on the couch. The look over the shoulder come on dad give me a boost. Then after our walk come on dad i need a boost into the Corolla.
And yet as i sat down to have sardines in oil just a little while ago.
The furry mooch made it up on the couch with the agility of a paratrooper no service hooman assistance required.
