A dog is man's best friend - and a Labrador retriever is the best of all, whether playing with small children, hunting, or simply walking with these adorable, lovable pets. Both Bill Clinton and Putin have pet Labradors, showing their international appeal, and the British Army use them for explosive sniffing in Iraq, with one named Sadie winning an animal VC! Indispensable as "Guide Dogs for the Blind", Labs truly merit a book of their own, and this is the one. Great writers of dog life and lore - Her riot, Roger Welsch, Bill Tarrant, Mel Ellis and many more - tell stories of labs lovable and heroic, up to mischief or on the hunt. A kaleidoscope of images celebrate the dog in all it's colors and seasons, from a sociable puppy to elder statesman of the kennel. Taking the reader from laughter to tears, this is an irresistible book for any dog lover, and must have for Labrador owners!
