OK, so technically, planting themselves in front of the oven, waiting for someone to lend a helping hand, is a form of telepathy, right?

It&#8217;s especially impressive because the ball traveled to that spot a week ago, and he remembered it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When it&#8217;s Blue and Bonnie, it&#8217;s already a cute heist, but once Boone joins in, it&#8217;s a &#8220;pawty!&#8221; In case there&#8217;s a joke about how many <a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/golden-retrievers-cute-way-of-getting-brothers-attention\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Golden Retrievers;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Golden Retrievers<\/a> it takes to (fill in the blank), it&#8217;s apparently three!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/golden-retriever-puppys-bond-with-baby\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Golden Retriever Puppy's Bond With Baby Will Melt Your Heart;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Related: Golden Retriever Puppy&#8217;s Bond With Baby Will Melt Your Heart<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Golden Retriever Crew Does Everything Together<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s kind of surprising that Blue, Bonnie, and Boone don&#8217;t have more followers.
