Two dogs in bandanas sit by waterfall.Kendall Folse has no problem saying that golden retrievers Miles and Beau are her favorite children. The two goldens are half brothers that are six months apart and best friends. The pups helped inspire Geaux Fideaux, a dog bandana company that Kendall started with her husband Barry and daughter Lindsey. Named for former LSU football coach Les Miles, Miles is also part of a lifetime study to figure out why golden retriever life expectancy has dropped significantly since the 1970s.  Catch Beau and Miles on Instagram with the hastag #brothersbyanothermother, or on Kendall’s screensaver (her grandson didn’t make the cut). “We often tell people, they are better than most people,” Kendall says.
