What’s a Golden Retriever Boyfriend?

These are fellas that are full of affection and follow their girlfriends around like a loyal Golden Retriever pup!

Labeling someone as a “nice guy” sometimes doesn’t sound like a compliment.  Social media is re-framing that label into something more desirable and relatable.  They’re calling good guys “Golden Retriever Boyfriends.”   These are fellas that are happy doing their own things but when they’re not, give full of affection and follow their girlfriends around…sort of like a puppy.   While comparing men to dogs may sound like an insult, it’s not meant to be.   Golden Retrievers are the most universally beloved dog breed.  The hashtag has millions of views.
