Hi T-Gal
What a lovely story about your Tawney. Goldern Retrievers in NZ are the second most usilised breed of dog for blind people and I have yet to research deeply into dogs used for the deaf or for the disabled or for children who have reading difficulties (Reading Dogs) but GRs could figure prominently for those services as well. Golden Retrievers are not expressive dogs nor are they fleet footed but that is not to say they are not one of the more intelligent breeds of all and usually display their intelligence in a quiet, subtle and dignified manner.
