Cheerful, friendly, self-assured, and just plain loveable - these are the classic characteristics of golden retrievers.
What golden owners won't tell you is that these lovely dogs can also display hoodwinking, deceit, annoying persistence, blind jealousy, selfishness, flatulence and indolence.
Of course, it's because of these exasperating traits, if not in spite of them, that goldens are so dam endearing.
All golden owners will recognize themselves and their dogs in Bruce Cochran's Golden Fever.
90 black and white cartoons are included in this dog book.
