A great book! I laughed, I cried... you get the picture

For anyone who has ever truly loved a dog (if you have, you know what I'm talking about), this is a must read. If you're a bird hunter, this book has special significance. But even if your not, there's much here for you. Rick Bass is uniquely open with his feelings for a goofy German Shorthaired Pointer (aren't they all goofy?) named Colter. As anyone who has ever and loved a great dog knows, these types of animals are not perfect. In fact, their greatness comes from that lack of perfection -- their unique personlities that sometimes make you just grin and shake your head. Colter is just that kind of a dog and the way Rick Bass tells his story (and the story of their time together) is quite touching and even hillariously funny at times.

Dog-People Only

This was an excellent book! Rick Bass captured in words how I've often felt working with and training my own dogs. It is not the successful hunt that makes that "special" dog. It is the joy with which the dog performs. This is not a book about hunting and is not for people who own dogs to hunt. It is for people who hunt because they love their dog!

Great Book

I am a hunter and found this book to be a great read. The book is different from most hunting/dog books in that it doesn't fall into the my-dog-and-I-are-"part of the food chain" junk. What a relief to read a hunting book from someone who appreciates things other than grouse, woodcock, duck, etc. To the "reader from Wisconsin", I suggest he read the book again.
