If Labs were people , writes author Tom Davis, they’d be surgeons, accountants, attorneys, and CEOs – successful, yes, but a little, um, predictable. Goldens, in contrast, are right-side, Type B dogs: imaginative, mellow, enemies of routines … quirky, fun-loving, and full of surprises. You’d want a Labrador to handle your money, but you’d want a Golden to throw your party. A couple of hours into the festivities, it’s the one wearing the lampshade . Such apt words from Mr. Davis are perfectly complemented by over 200 remarkable photographs by Dale C. Spartas in this tribute to Golden Retrievers at home, at play, and in the field.

Owning a Labrador retriever is a true joy: here is a trusted and loyal companion with a winning personality. But owning a Lab also has a characteristic downside: they love to steal your favorite chair (and shed on it too); they have bad breath and other less-than-desirable grooming habits; and, at certain times, they may bark at, chase away, chew through, or jump up on the wrong person or thing. Yet, your Lab still receives more love and attention than you do. Cartoonist Bruce Cochran humorously depicts the day-to-day antics of the irrepressable Lab.
