Owner Christina Duepner of De Soto describes 5-year-old Bailey as a good-natured dog. She is shown here in an Oct. 18, 2024 photograph.
“I think this photo captures the essence of a golden retriever so well,” Duepner said. “All golden retrievers have a super personality. Bailey is such a happy, sweet girl. We are blessed to have her.”
Bailey enjoys her playthings.
“She collects toys,” Duepner said. “She probably has 60 toys. She doesn’t chew them up. She takes care of them.”
Bailey even turns clothing into her toys, she said.
“She loves to steal my husband’s socks from the closet and prance around the room,” Duepner said.
