Does anyone else's golden do the "hand hold" thing?

So I get home from work, and my golden does the usual goes absolutely nuts, wiggly butt and the whole nine yards. But then he does this specific thing that just kills me every time.

He'll gently boop and sniff my hand, then ever so softly take it in his mouth. He doesn't chew or anything, he just... holds it. Then he starts slowly leading me to the living room like he's guiding me.

Once we get there, he plops down, rolls over, and exposes his belly for the other hand to get to work. It's like his way of saying, "You pet me with this hand, and I'll just hold this one. Welcome home."

It totally melts my heart. I'm just curious, is this a common golden retriever thing? Does your pup do a version of the "gentle hand hold" too?
