There are few animals that are as lovable as a dog, and few dogs that are as lovable as a Lab. A first-class retriever with a loyal personality, gentle nature, and good looks to boot, Labs are our faithful companions and assistants, bringing us laughter, comfort and courage. Love of Labs is the ultimate tribute to these remarkable dogs, with captivating stories by leading outdoor writers complemented by delightful color photos. Stories like Bill Tarrant's "Of Miracle and Memories," which evokes the beauty of the relationship between an owner and his Lab as the owner faces the impending death of his longtime friend. Or James Herriot's tale of the lovable but awkward Lab, Brandy, whose classic Labrador antics will make you laugh. No other book pays higher honor to the Lab than Love of Labs. Whether your favorite Lab is a treasured family pet, a loyal hunting companion, or the dog next door, you'll love this book. If you love Labs, you'll treasure this supreme tribute, filled with heartwarming tales and irresistible photos of Labs at home and in the field. Leading outdoors writers share their favorite Lab stories--including Field & Stream editors Bill Tarrant and Gene Hill and famous veterinarian James Herriot--while top-notch photographers show-off their best shots of these handsome dogs.
