Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Sure, you probably already know that Labrador retrievers are one of the most popular dog breeds. But did you know that they're also one of the most useful? In 101 Uses for a Lab, photographer Dale Spartas--whose previous book, Just Labs, won the hearts of many Lab lovers--offers a "whimsical look at the many roles the Lab in your life can fill." From taste tester to alarm clock, dishwasher to hand warmer, Spartas's 101 fun-filled color photographs "bring to life all the heartwarming, endearing characteristics that make these dogs favorite companions."

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat for any dog lover; a must for the Labophile, January 5, 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 101 Uses For A Lab, December 25, 1999
By A Customer
We have had labrador retrievers in our family for over 40 years. Splash, our current yellow lab, and our many other labs, is well described in this wonderful book. Splash thinks his (and I am sure other labrador owners will agree) sole role in life is to be our best friend and he gives us so much love every single day. It is clear, after reading this book, that labs are the best breed of dog available. The author truly captures the fine spirit, dedication and devotion of the labrador retriever -- I found the book to be true for all of our wonderful dogs. For those who are fortunate enough to own a lab, this book is a MUST!

5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed, cried and know why I will always own a Lab., November 29, 1998
By A Customer
I received this book for my birthday from my sister who also owns a Lab. We both know that our 'girls' really own us and always will. The pictures tell the story for all of us who love the breed. Labs aren't dogs, they're more like people with all their funny, endearing characteristics that runs true in each one of them. Each photo reminded me of a similar activity or antic my own dog has done and I have bought two more copies to give to friends. It's a wonderful treasure and 'must have' for Lab lovers.
