People are always asking me the origin of my name. Dominik Dinga is a Serbian soccer defender and since we both enjoy a good game of chase, I assume that I was named after him. I just prefer going after squirrels instead of soccer balls. Does that mean that I am famous too?
Although I am ten years old, I am very young in spirit. I love to go on walks and I am very strong. I think I need a little more training to encourage me to stop pulling. Playing in the yard is fun, but I am also content to just lay at Foster Mom’s feet, watch a movie and share an occasional piece of her popcorn. I can be trusted with free rein in the house, but I also like the security of my crate and will go in willingly. Cats were an anomaly to me when I first arrived at my foster home where two felines live. I was very curious to discover exactly what they were and what they would do if I chased them. Now we have just resolved to coexist without much interaction. I was never introduced to dogs by my previous owner, so I am not sure how I feel about living with another canine. For now, I think I would like to be the “one and only” pup in the family.
There is almost nothing better than going on an adventure in the car. I am happy to sit by an open window and take in the new sights, sounds and smells. The only thing slightly more exciting is being given a peanut butter fill Kong toy that I can work on emptying for hours. Obedience commands? I know a lot of them, but at my age my stubborn side sometimes takes over and I refuse to perform. Of course, the offer of a tasty treat will usually encourage me!
I haven’t been in foster care long and I am ready to find a family to call my own in record time. That’s because I was perfect from the beginning. Foster Mom says I am a typical Golden girl: happy to be loved and to love forever. I can’t wait for my new life to start!

RIP and run free, Tucker, there are all the cookies and cake you want at Rainbow Bridge. You fought and survived longer than anyone could have imagined.
Tucker was loved a lifetime by his foster Mom receiving 24/7 love, healthy and regular meals, soft beds and a warm home. Tucker’s foster Mom said she will miss those eyes as Tucker stood by her side staring at her while she prepared his meals, or as she tried to eat her own meals. The same eyes that danced with joy when he heard the cookie jar lid and those beautiful eyes that knew she was there for him and with him as long as he needed her, even on his final day.
Tucker is just one of many that As Good as Gold has generously and without hesitation given the gift of a chance for a better life, if even for just a few days, weeks or 2 months and 2 days. If you would like to help dogs like Tucker, please consider making a donation:
