I would make sure the owner knows about this behavior. Napping is probably the pup's coping mechanism to deal with a potentially scary/chaotic/dangerous new environment, BUT there might be a medical issue. If the pup is sleepy/low-energy all the time or is in pain such that moving hurts, the owner will probably want to tell their veterinarian.
It does look like 3 of those pictures may be the same golden, so it may not be just sleeping on all random dogs. Could just be a case of cuddling with one or two that it likes. That's also a really young puppy by the looks, and getting tuckered out isn't abnormal.
Still good advice to keep eyes and watch for the things you mentioned.
I'm in this picture, and I like it!

That's a dog? I from a distance, I thought it is a lion!
