Just Dogs is a memorial, a literary and photographic tribute, to those dogs living and gone who have graced the lives of hunters.

Here are evocative photographs, literary excerpts, and stories that recreate scenes and events that all who have ever hunted with a favorite dog can recall.

Be it pointer or flusher, each dog with whom the hunter shares his life leaves with him discrete memories of individual style, of grace - or lack thereof - and of individual character.

Anyone whose Ben, Maggie, Parker, Thor, or Sally was ever at once his friend as well as his hunting partner, anyone who has ever looked into the eyes of his dog and seen there the soft, sweet look of fondness, of forgiving, infinite devotion, and felt that gaze all the way into his heart, will know what this book is all about.
