Well I need some help for my Sister and her dog.  
 
My sister has a 3 year old female Golden Retriever and she is a amazing dog. She is GREAT with the kids (2 2.5 year olds) and is protective of her family and her space, but not crazy. She loves people and like I said an all around great dog! The only problem with her is that my sister is hardly ever home anymore, and its getting hard on the dog. She is scared of thunderstorms and when know one is around she goes crazy! She just needs someone around for her.  
 
Does anyone have any advice I could pass on to her or does anyone want a dog?  
 
I feel sorry for the poor dog and if I was allowed I would take her!
