Atlanta's Top Dogs list includes No. 2 pick: Golden Retrievers. Check out these cute photos.

What makes Golden Retrievers the second most popular breed in metro Atlanta? One look at Doakie and it's clear. These friendly pooches with their flowing golden manes stand out from the pack. Check out a few more great examples!

Our female golden Shelby, who is 7, is very patient with our toddler Kayla!

Mmmmmmmm...Hunter thinks sticks are tasty.

Check out those flowing golden locks!

I'm a good dog (while you are watching me).

Jake and his Frisbee. Ahhh, the simple pleasures in life.

Dreyfus thinks tennis balls are the greatest toys!

Buster is an 18-month-old male golden puppy. He is being treated for heartworms and can't wait to start with his fun, loving life. Ask for him at www.adoptagoldenatlanta.com.

Archie is a natural strutter who loves people.

Shelby is about 2 years old in this picture. Five years later, Shelby lives to catch a Frisbee!

Like Baxter, we all should take time to smell the grass!

Max gets relief from the heat in McDonough. This is the only way to ride out the dog days of summer.

Our daughter left for UGA so the dogs get all of the attention (and cake) now!

Gunther is an 8-year-old male with AKC papers. His family didn't have time for him anymore. But he's a sweetheart looking for love. Ask for him at www.adoptagoldenatlanta.com.
