Vermont is known for its beautiful scenery – it is a populartraveldestination in fall months looking for cozy Gilmore Girl vibes. But now it has something even more beautiful than the golden crowns on autumnal trees – a bunch ofgolden retrieverswaiting for guests to play with them.
It might sound too good to be true, but there is an actual golden retriever experience at theGolden Dog Farm. Situated in the Green Mountains, this 200-acre property hosts their own version of “happy hour” where visitors can snuggle and play with at least 10 “butternut goldens”. Take my money now!!!
“We call it ‘happy’ hour. Because a happy is a collective noun for a group of golden retrievers,” said the owner, Doug Worple.
Tickets cost $75 per person and the four-legged wonders jump out of a dog-delivery pickup to greet customers. “When the truck pulled up with the pups, it felt like my heart might explode from happiness!”wroteone customer. “It was 20 times better than Disney!!” shared another.
The playdate lasts for about an hour and a half and the visitors are provided with the goldens’ favorite toys – tennis balls. Those who aren’t keen on playing can just spend time cuddling and snapping pictures of their new furry friends.
“People are coming from all over the country – they’re taking a break from life and enjoying a moment. And it’s awesome,” Becca Worple shared her joy.

People from all over the country – and the world – flock to spend some time away from their worries. After all, life is better in the company of dogs.
“The world’s a heavy place. And you come here and you spend time with all these dogs and it just changes everything. People love it. They call it the best day ever.”
But is it just an exaggeration, or do dogs actually make life better? Ask any dog owner and the answer is “definitely yes”, despite disappearing slippers and a stiff neck after a night of having to sleep on the corner of the bed. However, there are plenty of studies that confirm the fact that dogs are incrediblybeneficialto both physical and mental health.

Such experiences remind us that we share the world with wonderful creatures and we are responsible for ensuring their safety and happiness
So, it’s no wonder why people are willing to travel thousands of miles just to spend time in the company of lovely dogs. These paw-some friends remind us that the world isn’t so bad as long as there are dogs in it – it’s hard to have dark thoughts when a pup is demanding belly rubs.
Perhaps that is the reason why various animal experiences are growing in popularity. From petting zoos at local farms where kids and adults can play with goats and llamas or feed chickens to puppyyogawhere adorable rascals teach people how to do a downwarddog, it is obvious that people are looking back to nature.
Hopefully, this new trend will teach people about the wonders of friendship with animals and how much they rely on us. If you’re looking for ways to help the fauna, here are some ideas:
