After having a day's break, I started reading this non fiction, and could not stop till it ended :
Labrador - The Story of the World's Favourite Dog by
Ben Fogle.
A social history of Labradors, and how they have become the world’s most beloved dogs, by writer, presenter and long-time dog lover Ben Fogle, whose beloved black Labrador, Inca, famously accompanied him on numerous journeys and adventures.
Labradors are the most popular breed of dog in the world. Not only a great family companion, they also excel at hunting, tracking, retrieving, guiding and rescuing. But where did the breed originally come from? How did it develop? When did black, yellow and chocolate Labradors first appear? Did they really all come from Labrador in Canada and are they really all related to just one dog?
In this first history of the Labrador, Ben Fogle goes in search of what makes Labradors so special. Their extraordinary companionship, intelligence, work ethic and loyalty is captured by Ben as he weaves the story of the breed into his own story of his beloved Inca.
Next up : I bought today 9 books' series by Erle Stanley Gardner today from various sources. I'll start with 'The D.A. Calls it a Murder'. Cozy detective mysteries, with a new lawyer hero Doug Selby, written between 1937 and 1949.
