This is an excellent written book with beautiful photos of Jake and his doggie friend. It is excellent to read to children and dog-loving adults will enjoy it also. It is definately a book to keep on your coffee table!

The story and the photos will touch the hearts of all readers. The puppy, Jake, with his older labrador doggy pal make great reading for all. It is filled with excellent photos to complement the story.

My daughter checked this book out of her school library and we both fell in love with it. I'm actually writing this review because I was hoping to buy Jake on Amazon (rather than "forget" to return it to the school library! :) The book is about the training of puppy Jake to be a hunting dog. You see how Jake fits into the established relationship between the owner and his older lab who is ready to "retire."

The prose is simple but not simplistic, and the process of seeing Jake grow up and fill a place in his owner's heart is touching without being maudlin. It's directed at children, and my daughter had no trouble reading it at 2nd grade, although it is longer than most books directed at early readers.

I think anyone who loves dogs would enjoy this book, but if you're a lab lover, this will quickly be a favorite.

Thank you for having this book. It is out of print and my daughter really enjoys it. It came to me in perfect condition.

this book was a great read for all ages! it had heart warming photo graphs. i checked this book out of the library and i had to tear myself away at the due date!

A rewarding and wonderful book of tales that will touch anyone who loves dogs. Every tale will touch you with memories of a labrador retriever you once had or bring you closer to your labrador pal that you now share your heart with. A must gift for anyone who owns a labrador retriever!
