It is not by accident that they are family dogs, gentle around children, and adorably irresistible as puppies, which make people melt at the sight of them. The love to play fetch with a tennis ball, or maybe even a few tennis balls at a time !
But more than anything else, Labs are loyal. This is why they are often used by the blind and handicapped as guide dogs. They have often been called "angels in dog suits". When you make friends with a Black Lab, you have a friend for life.
I am sad to say we are with one less "friend" these days. My Mom's friend from school recently had her Black Lab "Shania" pass on. When you lose a Black Lab, you might lose a friend, but you never lose that "angel in the dog suit".
Rest gently Shania...and find a spare tennis ball or two to chase for a while !
