This is Jackson. He was my first dog, a family dog really though. He was born in 1986 and died in 1997 from snout cancer. He was the biggest Golden Retriever ever, weighing in at a whopping 130 lbs. at the time of his death. Perhaps we shouldn't have fed him so much Kibbles 'N' Bits, but we didn't know much about dogs when we had him. He was extremely friendly and very gentle with me when I was an infant from what I'm told (I was born in 1985, one year before big Jackson). My Mom always joked he was part moose because of his massive size. He really was one of those special dogs...
