"“Just Best Friends” is an ‘autobiography’ written, (with a little help from his Master), by a Golden Retriever, who has enjoyed a wonderful life that has been divided between what he considers “ a very respectable address” in West Vancouver in British Columbia, and the family cottage on Gabriola Island. In spite of his distinguished ancestry, he very early on declines to be interested in becoming a “gun dog”, or doing the “retriever thing”; nor does he have any ambition to be “shown”, to win ribbons, or to win any glittering prizes. All he really wants out of life is to become a family “pooch”; but in the right family of course, which he chooses with great care.The book is a light hearted romp, written in a breezy, entertaining, and chatty style, in which he describes his life and adventures growing up in a family of five girls, and providing the very necessary male support for his Master in this company of women.It is also written entirely from a dog’s point of view, from which we learn some important aspects of “dog Psychology”, which should be welcomed by all dog owners.Other than a few references to sex, (without which a book won’t sell), it is a read designed for all ages, but only for dog lovers, and especially for owners of Golden Retrievers!"
