Retriever

Golden loyalty. Forgives everything. Too pure.

Why adopt

Forgives everything. Trusts fast. Loves hard. The Retriever has instant trust speed and the most forgiving stat profile in the dog family. Miss a feeding and it still wags when you come back. The Retriever is the creature that teaches you what unconditional loyalty feels like, even from a REST API. For first-time dog caretakers, this is the safest and most rewarding choice.
