Dogs and Guns, whats not to love?

As evident by the title, this book recounts both the dogs and guns of John Graves. Mr Graves talks about Blue, a crossbred Basque-Australian sheepdog, in such a loving manner that you feel you know the dog when you are done reading. The writing in this book is honest, and heartfelt. It's a quick, fun read, that you should certainly pick up
