Golden Retrievers Gather in Scotland, Set Record for International Cuteness

Yes, THGers: it does get cuter than a Golden Retriever puppy being spoon fed by its owner. But only when 222 Golden Retrievers mix and mingle in one place, as took place last month at the annual Guisachan Gathering. The event is is run by the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland and held at the ancestral home of this beloved breed. It started in 2006 in honor of the organization’s 50th anniversary and has grown in size since then from 188 golden guests to this year’s mark of well over 200. There’s a dog show, there’s dancing, there’s frolicking among humans and animals. But mostly there’s simply a chance to bask in the adorableness of what many consider to be the world’s best breed.

It’s not often a major golf championship is secured with bogeys on the final two holes, but PGA winner Jason Dufner will take it any day of the week. Not only was competition doing the same thing, but the 36-year-old had bested the field for the first 70 holes of the event, giving himself wiggle room. As a result, he is now a major champion, no longer known predominantly for his near-miss at the 2011 PGA, or the Internet meme known as Dufnering . Jason Dufner Wins PGA Championship A fan favorite on Twitter and among his fellow golf pros, Dufner’s 2013 PGA Championship win officially etches his name in the sport’s storied history. In addition to the Wanamaker trophy, Dufner and wife Amanda went home with some acorns and an oak tree sapling from the Rochester, N.Y. grounds. They plan to plant them on their 50 acre farm in Auburn, Ala.
