Hamlet is implementing an idea that was already implemented by Worker's Village, which is stronger than it.
I think the card is an interesting way of getting some of the fun of both cards onto the one card at a lower price point, which does unlock some interesting interactions (e.g. you can remodel a Copper into a GR), though not quite as many as, say, turning a $5 into a $4. Plus being both cards at once (like a "Now or at the start of your next turn" Stowaway) is pretty neat. However it would be more interesting if it there were some things it could do that neither of those cards could. The bottom is simple enough that you could make the top different.
Note: I also named my card Golden Retriever and am retaining the name as my card interacts with Gold, but I have no issue with other cards of the same name in the same contest (though it's up to the judge)
