Dog tales in prose and verse. Stories about each of his three Labrador retrievers and some of the other dogs and people whose lives they touched. Shaggy dogs, mutts, mongrels, three Labrador retrievers and a pet rabbit inspire the stories and poems in this collection. Pets of one kind or another have shared the past six decades of the author's life, and here are some stories that will make you laugh out loud and others that remind you of the escapades and exasperation you've been through with your pets.
