Here's what the humans have to say about me:
DUKE ****CONTACT SHELLY lovedogs.rescue@gmail.com DUKE THE "ALL AMERICAN LABRADOR!!"" DUKE IS A BEAUTIFUL, 3 YEAR OLD, 45 LB., PUREBRED CHOCOLATE LABRADOR RETRIEVER. DON'T PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR HEART WHEN YOU MEET DUKE BECAUSE WITHIN MINUTES HE WILL STEAL IT. HIS EYES WILL ABSOLUTELY MAKE YOU MELT. THEY ARE LARGE, A WARM, PALE GOLDEN COLOR WITH A PROUD, BUT ALSO "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION. THIS PUP WILL MELT YOUR HEART THE MINUTE YOU SEE "THAT FACE". HIS COAT IS A RICH DARK FUDGE BROWNIE COLOR, SOME OF DUKE'S COAT IS "SUNBURNED" AND HE IS SHEDDING IT NOW AND ONCE IT IS ALL OUT HIS COAT IS GOING TO BE A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL DARK CHOCOLATE COLOR. DUKE IS ALSO ON THE SMALLER SIDE FOR A LAB BEING FULL GROWN AND WEIGHING 45 LBS, WHAT WE REFER TO AS "PETITE", HE IS PERFECT FOR FOLKS WHO WANT A LABRADOR BUT AREN'T UP FOR A 75 LB. DOG. HE IS NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT WAIT TIL YOU SEE DUKE IN MOTION. HE DOESN'T WALK, HE GLIDES, STRIDE LONG AND FLOWING, FLUID AND SMOOTH. HE TRULY SEEMS TO BE FLOATING THROUGH AIR. JUST A GORGEOUS GUY YES, BUT THERE IS A TON MORE TO DUKE THEN JUST A PRETTY FACE, ALTHOUGH HIS FACE AND THOSE EYES ARE PRETTY!!! DUKE TRULY IS "THE ALL AMERICAN LABRADOR" AND HAS EVERY TRAIT THAT MAKES THE LAB THE NUMBER ONE FAMILY COMPANION. IN FACT OUR DIRECTOR COMMENTED "THIS DOG IS WONDERFUL, SO SMART, EVERYTHING A LAB SHOULD BE, HE IS PERFECT FOR ANY FAMILY". HE IS A PUP, TRUE TO THE LAB, THAT IS DEVOTED TO THOSE HE LOVES. HE IS AN INVALUABLE COMPANION AND HIGHLY INTELLIGENT. HE ADORES ATTENTION AND AFFECTION AND DON'T BE SURPRISED OF YOU FEEL A THUMP ON YOUR LEG AND THERE IS DUKE'S "BLOCK" HEAD GIVING YOU HIS "LOVE ME--PAT ME" LOOK. THE NEXT THING YOU WILL NOTICE ONCE YOU GET PAST STARING AT HOW BEAUTIFUL DUKE IS, AND IT IS APPARENT AFTER SPENDING ONLY A BRIEF TIME WITH DUKE, THIS GUY IS SOOOO SMART!!! HE IS AN EXTREMELY ALERT FELLOW ALWAYS AWEAR OF HIS SURROUNDINGS. HE FINDS ANYTHING YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO INTERESTING AND A CHALLENGE. DON'T SHOW DUKE A BALL UNLESS YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO PLAY DUKE IS THE ULTIMATE "BALL DOG"(SEE PHOTO) HE WILL BRING HIS BALL BACK TO YOU, DROP IT, SIT, LOOK AT YOU WITH THOSE EYES GIVING YOU HIS "THROW IT ONE MORE TIME" LOOK. DUKE WOULD "RETRIEVE" TIL YOU OR YOUR ARM GIVES OUT. THIS PUP DELIGHTS IN PLEASING WHICH MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE. YOU COULD TAKE DUKE ANYWHERE AND HE WOULD SHINE. IF YOU DAY STARTED WITH AN EARLY MORNING WALK, DUKE IS READY, HE IS IN TOP FORM, HE ADORES WALKS AND A GUY WHO WILL MATCH YOU STEP FOR STEP. IN MOTION HE IS BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY, JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR AND IN DUKE WILL HOP, ALL READY FOR LIFE'S NEXT ADVENTURE. HE WOULD DELIGHT IN NEW TRAILS TO EXPLORE, PLAYING WITH "HIS" BALL, HIS TOYS, OR DIVING IN ANY WATER HE COULD FIND, DON'T FORGET HE'S A LAB THE WATER LOVIN BREED. DUKE IS ALSO AN EXTREMELY SOCIAL GUY AND ENJOYS THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS, JUST A NEW BEST PLAY BUDDY FOR HIM TO PLAY WITH. AT DAYS END WHEN YOU COME INSIDE AND SETTLE IN FOR THE EVENING DUKE WILL FIND "HIS" SPOT ON A COOL KITCHEN FLOOR, NAPPING, CONTENT KNOWING THAT HE IS WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO HIM--HIS FAMILY. AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THIS "ALL AMERICAN LAB" WE FEEL THAT THE HOME THAT WOULD MAKE DUKE'S LIFE COMPLETE IS ONE WHERE HE WOULD BE A TRUE COMPANION FOR A SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE, OR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN(DUKE LOVES CHILDREN) WHO WOULD ADORE HAVING DUKE FOR THEIR BEST FRIEND. DUKE ONLY HAS ONE REQUEST AND HIS EYES TOLD US THIS THE FIRST TIME WE MET HIM. HE WANTS TO BE A PART OF SOMEONES LIFE, TO BE LOVED AS DEEPLY AS HE LOVES. IF YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD A BEAUTIFUL COMPANION PUP TO YOUR LIFE, ONE WHO HAS THE BEST TRAITS OF THE LABRADOR RETRIEVER, A REGAL, STATUESQUE, CLASSIC APPEARANCE, A GENTLE HEART, A WONDERFUL TEMPERAMENT AND DISPOSITION, AND A GUY WHO IS SO LOVING, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER DUKE IS YOUR PUP. AT THE END OF THE DAY THIS GENTLE "LOVE ME" FELLOW WILL FIND HIS SPOT CLOSE BY YOUR BED, HE WILL CURL UP AND WHEN YOU GIVE HIM A GOOD NIGHT PAT AND HE HEARS THE WORDS "DUKE WE LOVE YOU" HE WILL CLOSE THOSE GENTLE EYES, DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP AND DUKE'S WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED HE HAS HIS FAMILY AND IS LOVED!!!! HE IS TRULY THE PUP OF A LIFETIME!!!!
