Cheddar the Golden Retriever had a normal dog life for eight years. He lived with a family who loved him very much and spoiled him rotten.

But everything changed the day one of his owners was diagnosed with cancer. This meant the family no longer had the time or resources to properly care for Cheddar, and he was put up for adoption.

But it wouldn’t take long for him to find a new forever home. When Cheddar arrived at his new home, he picked up on something while walking through the neighborhood.

As the couple stopped to say hello to their elderly neighbor, Cheddar took to the woman instantly. Now Jean and the Golden Retriever are best friends and inseparable! The dog demands to see her every day and even throws a fit when he can’t.

Cheddar will grab his leash and start walking to let his owners know that he wants to take a walk and go see Jean.

If they walk in a different direction, the dog will tug on the leash toward Jean’s house! For whatever reason, Cheddar and Jean share an unspoken bond. But love needs no explanation!
