Sorry to hear that...I know others who were seriously attacked by dogs as kids, just not a good thing. This is one reason why we've had Labradors for the past 35 years, always cordial, never worry about them nipping someone.
But yes, Holly has been a serious MVP candidate during the pandemic, we walk 5-6 miles minimum every day, have occasional (distanced) play dates with other labs. Helps keep me as close to sane as I'm likely to get...and yes, she loves riding in the car, though we rarely go far these days...
