unconditional, healing love. PETER MANDELSON (Northern Ireland Secretary of State) has a Golden named Bobby.

 MARY TYLER MOORE (TV and movie actress)
currently has a Golden Retriever named Shadow.
This handsome fellow was adopted in the summer of 1999 from
Yankee
Golden Retriever Rescue (YGRR). Mary has been a dedicated advocate for shelter animals
for several years now. She chose to adopt, noting that "As long as dogs are being put
to de ath, I cannot buy a dog." Mary and Golden Shadow are currently helping YGRR with
a new membership recruitment drive. This gorgeous photo (by Timothy White) is featured on
their "Join Us" flyer.
Membership dues and donations are needed to pay for the Rescue Goldens' veterinary care
and shelter until they're adopted.
Even though we live in
Maryland and support our own two local Golden rescues, we are also proud supporting
members of YGRR. In Roger Caras' 1997 book,
The BOND: People
and Their Animals, Mary posed at the time with her Golden Retriever Dash
(who sadly has since died). She talked about her and her husband (Robert Levine,
cardiologist) both sharing a passion with animals.
"Within six months of their
marriage they had Dash, the Golden Retriever. They used a crate at night as part of the
training regimen, and Robert slept on the floor next to the crate for the first couple of
nights until the puppy settled in."
 WARREN "PETE" MUSSER (Safeguard Scientifics Chairman) has a 6-year-old Golden Retriever named Higgins. This big guy has the run of Safeguard's
offices when Musser brings him to work. "I can't bring him to the office every day
because he'd get too fat," Musser said. "Nobody can resist giving him tidbits to
eat. "Golden Retrievers have such wonderful attributes. Loyalty. Friendship. Support.
Love. Wouldn't it be great if people had all those attributes?"

she named Bentley and Jackson. She actually compares Bentley to J.Lo because of

A recent news article talked about Arnold's
love for animals: "He's very sensitive," says Kathleen (Kit) Gawthrop,
who has been Palmer's companion over the past three years. "We might be
watching television, and if something happens to a dog in a commercial, it
will affect him." Palmer's last dog, Prince, a golden retriever like his

DAVE PRICE (weatherman on CBS Early
Show) has a Golden Retriever named Chance, as in "Chance of Showers". He also
just got a new Golden pupper (9/07). Here is the story of how Dave came to give
his guy, "A Second Chance"
Dave Price had been asking the ASPCA for
months to look out for a "Golden Retriever type" dog that needed a home.
Dave has never had a dog of his own and has always wanted one
— and wanted to rescue a dog in need from a
shelter.
Chance had a rough start in life -- he was rescued from a junk yard
situation by the ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement agents, where he was
infested with ticks and severely neglected. After one month at the ASPCA's
Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital, Chance quickly won the hearts of the ASPCA
staff, and was ready to be placed in a very special home. Valerie Angeli,
ASPCA Director of Public Information and Special Projects, knew that Dave
and Chance would be an ideal match, and that Dave's active and athletic
lifestyle would be perfect for a retriever type dog. As a spokesperson for
shelter animals and adoption, Price knows the commitment and responsibility
involved in bringing a new pet home. He admits that he was never quite ready
to make such a huge commitment, due to his hectic TV schedule, but has
recently decided that he has the time and proper resources to provide a
wonderful life for a shelter animal.
Already a "neurotic Doggie Dad," Dave has prearranged deliveries of the very
best dog food, treats and toys available and has scheduled Chance for Doggie
Daycare and runs in Central Park with friends. The ASPCA wants to wish Dave
and Chance a long, active and happy life together. Chance wishes to tell
anyone who wants to bring a pet into their life, to please look no further
than their local shelter for their new best friend.
