4.0 out of 5 stars Adorable, 17 Jul 2006

By	Milly Smith (Washington) - See all my reviews

Aren't our pet dogs great? I got a puppy only a few months ago and absolutely adore her funny, entertaining antics. Guess that is why I also enjoy reading about the antics of other people's dogs as well. This book is basically a pictorial book of the incredibly adoring and amusing qualities of one of man's best friends, the Labrador; although there are also several pictures showing the not so adorable antics that Labs get up to as well - these in particular reminded me of the need for John Donoghue's well thought out 10 commandments of dog which I found in another book about a Labrador that I've also read recently called Shakespeare my Butt! which details some of the author's amusing trials and tribulations of bringing up his own Labrador puppy. When I read `101 Uses for a Lab' there were many pictures that made me shout out `yes, yes, that's exactly what Penny (my dog) does'. Fabulous!

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat for any dog lover; a must for the Labophile, 6 Jan 1999

By A Customer

101 Uses for a Lab is a picture book, consisting of photos and short captions which describe some of the myriad ways in which dogs - specifically Labrador Bring-It-Back-Dogs - and humans interact.

The book is short and to the point. Each of the photographs (more than 101 of them) stands on its own as an artistic endeavor, and lovingly displays one aspect or another of the character of the Labrador Retriever. Even those portraits which highlight the darker canine virtues will bring a loving smile to the knowledgeable reader's face.

This is a book about dogs who love people, photographed and written by someone who loves dogs. If you have a Lab, you desperately need this book. You also need "Just Labs," by the same author. Buy more than one copy: you'll need several for gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent !!!, 26 Nov 2006

By	ShotokanDawn (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful little book which captures the character traits of the best dog breed in world to a T. The photography is beautiful although a few of the 'poses' could have been given a little more thought rather than just taking snap shots. But they do not detract from the value this little book has. It cannot fail to bring a smile to your face whenever you open it up at whichever page and the accompanying comments are very clever. I have 2 wonderful labradors (a chocolate and a black ... hubby won't let me complete the set with a yellow lab tho!!!) and to see their breed captured on film in this way is a thorough treat and something I will always appreciate. Enjoy! :-D
