[.ca] Love Of Labs: The Ultimate Tribute to Labrador Retrievers (ISBN 0896584682)

Love of Labs:
This book allows you to be inside the labs heart. I purchased this book 2 1/2 years ago after I purchased my first chocolate lab. I read this book in one sitting and realizing that I wanted more. I wanted to understand why they stand by us, as our protector and our best friend. As lab owners we are the lucky ones. Tears and laughter filled my heart the day I read this book. I now have two chocolate labs and they are first on my list. The sense of giving they have is unbelievable. One of my favorite stories was "All Ghosts Aren't White". This story taught me that even dogs need to escape the real world and find a favorite place to retire and relax. As my two labs follow me everywhere, the amount of love that is between us is priceless and I would not trade this for anything in this world. Some people in this world say as lab lovers we love our dogs too much, they are only dogs. Well, for all LAB LOVERS, you are the best! and for those who do not understand, buy this book and realize that a lab may show you how to love and help you find it. We need more books like this.

Good story book, beautiful photos:
This is a story book. The stories narrated in the book show the really nice characteristics of this excellent dogs. The photographs are beautiful. It's a nice tribute to the Labrador. Only downside is that all, and I do mean all, the stories are hunting stories. I believe these dogs have much more to say in other aspects of life. For all of you who hunt with a Lab, you will really love this book. Those of you who don't hunt but are really fond to this breed, you will like it very much, myself included. For those of you looking for information on the breed, not recomended.

Another Wonderful Book On The Wonders Of Labs!:
Here is another attractive entry by naturalist author Todd Berger, one that takes a truly loving look at America's singular and by far most popular wonder dog, the Labrador Retriever. As Berger points out so well, there are few other animals who draw such love from humans as a dog, and surely the Lab is the most loveable of the breeds. Here he presents the Labrador Retriever in all its wonder and does a yeoman service to the rest of us by enumerating all of the superb qualities the dog has to offer potential human enthusiasts. They are by reputation excellent working dogs, both as field dogs and as guide dogs for the disabled. They are also incredibly loyal, and the news services are often filled with wonderful and heartwarming stories of Labs crawling out on the ice to save their masters, often at considerable danger to themselves. Nonetheless, they stand by our sides. Therefore, this book, "The Love Of Labs', is the ultimate tribute to the breed, and is chock-full with stories and photos that actively serve to substantiate what might otherwise seem as idle boasts and overethusiastic praise. In fact, for anyone who spends any time around Labs, like me, it is hard nto to use superlatives when describing them. More than one of the stories herein will bring a smile to your face, a tear to your eye, and the idea in your noggin perhaps it is time to consider getting one of these incredible creatures into you rlife, and that of your extended family. they boost the energy level in any room they enter, are incredible chick-magnets, and have been shown to reduce high blood pressure and dissipate depression through their mere presence. This is a wonderful book about what I believe to be the world's most nearly perfect living creature, the Labrador Retriever! Enjoy!

A lab is pure love:
I have only had the priviledge of owning our adopted black lab, Abbott (rescued by Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue) for about 4 months. I can not tell you how incredible these dogs are!! The family loyalty is palpable. The intense devotion these dogs display to their family is remarkable. The absolute joy this dog has brought to us is a gift that is compounded daily. How can one really describe a lab's love for their family? (and the family for them) I was so happy to see a book that comes close to trying to express this. Quite simply, the stories and pictures are beautiful. Share this book with anyone that loves these dogs for it is a pure delight just to turn the pages and look at the pictures! We feel so lucky to live with the real thing!
