We don't always get to know the dogs we paint, but we know Kelly.   Kelly, like any other Golden Retriever, is very much a people-oriented dog.   She will not be relegated to the backyard while her family is in the house because Kelly needs to be with people.   She is energetic and gentle, enjoys many activities with her family and friends, such as walking, hiking, jogging, hunting, etc.   Unlike her human friends, she will swim almost anywhere at any temperature and her enthusiasm is infectious.
