14. Gilbert's skill set was that of being a good boy and a member of the family.

I have no doubt that Gilbert’s skill set also included coming to the aid of his humans
during their last minutes of life.

Gilbert looks like the Golden I had from 11 to 23. My mom was walking him once and he
refused to let her walk down a street at night and the next day we found out that a home
in that area was being burglarized @ that time.
