When ours is in the house and she does this along with putting her head on our lap, she is telling us that it is potty time.

Why Goldens Put Their Paws on YouNEW by: Golden Retriever Magic
Hi Larry,
In response to your question...
You are absolutely right -- Goldens are convinced that they and their humans belong together! :-) Really, I think that putting their paws on people (and yes, our Goldens do that as well) is a way of getting attention and showing affection. It's like saying, "Hey, I'm here and I love you!" Goldens thrive on physical contact and petting, and it's almost impossible not to pet them after their pawing gesture!
