Yea, I'm sure that its a Golden. I've seen a few that were psycho. I blame the owners, poor breeding etc.... There is no fence in the front yard and the dog seems to stay in the yard if we are in front of it before he sees us. He'll bark and growl and lunge at us, but rarely puts a paw in the road. Just after we pass he'll be in the center of the road in a defensive stance. Often see him before we get to the house in the road in this same posture.
