If I were you, I would rescue a Golden Retriever about 2-4 years old, so they over the puppy stage. They give unconditional love 24/7. We have had 7 of them in our 40 years of marriage, and the two we currently have love me way more than my wife ever will! :-) Plus you get the added benefit of going on walks around the RV park, and instantly you are a woman magnet, because they will want to pet your dog, and then you can get to know them. At home you will never be lonely, because as soon as you sit on the couch, the Golden will be right next to you.
