In December 2004, an aging black Labrador retriever on the first hunting trip of her long, good life spooked at the sound of gunshot and was lost amid the frigid rice fields of the Texas coastal prairie. For a week her owner searched for his old companion, knowing that her age and inexperience were stacked against her survival. When family obligations pulled him halfway across the country, sadness and gloom pervaded the approaching holiday. Then a freak snowstorm, a distant phone call, and a friend’s lucky timing brought an unexpected reminder of the magic of Christmas.

This review is from: Scout, the Christmas Dog (Hardcover)
Andy Sansom is a well known Texas conservationist. I had the pleasure of meeting him recently and he is an engaging speaker. His book, Scout, the Christmas Dog is a heartwarming tale that will appeal to anyone who loves animals, especially labs! Andy eloquently puts into words the emotions all pet lovers feel when faced with the loss of a cherished companion.
This book would make a wonderful gift for anyone on your Christmas list who is a hunter, dog lover, or nature lover. Highly recommended.
