Upland Passage

It's guaranteed to put a tear in your eye and a smile on your face- especially if you have lived with and hunted a lab. Our family has owned labs for many years and I and my dogs have traveled the country in pursuit of upland game, as well as ducks and geese. There can't be a better book about the companionship of a good dog. I just wish that it were available in hard cover so that I could give it to my friends.

Such wonderful companions

Being a great admirer of this breed,I purchased this book years ago.I recently lost my lab of 13 years and this evening reread this splendid story of two wonderful dogs.Mr Jones' words helped me accept and understand my loss.Thank you for this excellant book.

Now maybe I understand.

I have to confess: I have never understood the appeal of hunting. I love dogs, though, and believe that they should be put to work for their own peace of mind. In any case, this book was beautifully written and made me truly understand why somebody would want to hunt. That's saying a lot. Other titles that people who read and enjoy this book might like: the Gerald Hammond "John Cunningham mysteries" and Dan O'Brien's Equinox. Altogether an excellent book about a man, the dogs, and the sport he loves.
