An annual Golden Retriever meet-up hosted thousands of silky-haired attendees — plus three very sneaky impostors. The trio of Huskies arrived “in disguise” and hilariously tried to pass themselves off as Golden Retrievers. Their humans dressed them in yellow dog costumes with signs around their necks that read “Don’t Be Suspicious,” “Golden on the Inside,” and — my personal favorite — “Identity Crisis” in an attempt to blend in with the crowd.
Obviously, their plans to remain incognito were foiled rather quickly, but all in good fun. The Huskies were the hit of the convention, posing for photos, stopping for cuddles, and enjoying pup cups as honorary Goldens for a day.
As one commenter posted, “Definitely my fav trio in the pack!”
“I just see three good pups,” posted another.
And one viewer even shared that Colorado hosts a similar meet-up for Huskies: the annual Husky Huddle. Too cute!

Dog-Friendly Travel 101
Unless you live in Golden, Colorado, attending this annual joyfest requires some travel for you and your pup. Traveling with your dog can be a great experience — but the key is preparation. Before any trip, veterinarians recommend checking with your doctor to make sure your dog is healthy enough to travel, up to date on vaccines, and protected against issues like motion sickness or anxiety.
You’ll also want to research your transportation method ahead of time. Airlines, trains, and even road trips have different safety rules, size requirements, and paperwork expectations, and some trips may require a recent health certificate. Pet-friendly accommodations are also necessary and should be booked in advance (and always confirm policies before arrival). Several websites are available to help with researching and planning pet-friendly transportation and accommodations.
Packing a dog-specific travel kit — food, water bowls, medications, comfort items, and cleanup supplies — helps keep them comfortable and reduces stress. Experts suggest practicing with carriers, crates, seat belts, or other travel gear before the trip so your dog associates it with positive experiences. When traveling by car, dogs should be secured and given regular breaks for water, exercise, and bathroom stops.
In short: the more you plan, the smoother (and safer) the trip will be for both of you.
