For your consideration, three pictures of a cute golden retriever today, two below the break.
This guy was waiting patiently outside of a bar when I saw him. I’m not clear on how long he was there, but he sure did look bored, and even a little rubdown didn’t perk him up much. He even rolled onto his back and let me pet his belly (though I didn’t get a good picture of that), but he looked morose the whole time I did it. Pining for the fjords, maybe.

Canis lupus familiaris, breed 'goden retriever', front view. Note sad expression, ridiculous fluff.

Canis lupus familiaris, breed 'goden retriever', side view. Note sad expression, pleading eyes. Clearly desires skritches.
