Review Quotes:
This book is all about day-to-day life with a Labrador retriever. Life in the field. Life in the marsh. Life in the home. Having read this book before it became a book, I can tell you no one celebrates this great dog like Don Thomas in these pages.
-Steve Smith, The Retriever Journal, Just Labs
Is there any all-around bird dog better than a Labrador retriever? I think not. And I cannot think of another "Lab guy" better than Don Thomas to write about a life with Labs. Don teaches with real life tales that entertain while softly slipping in the education we can all benefit from. Let a Dog for All Seasons immerse you in the world of our greatest do-it-all canine companion.
