Hema adopts Fray who is now eight months old and is a Labrador bitch. Fray's takes pride at its body to be both black and white as it prevents her from any racist slur in the US. She is now a busy host to my dad who is on visit to Hema's home. Labrador Retriever breed is known to be exceptionally affable, intelligent, energetic and good natured making them excellent companions and working dogs if properly trained. They are also known to enjoy water as historically they were trained to be used in water fowl hunting. They respond well to praise and positive attention.One of the Labs in England earned significant news coverage for rescuing its unconscious owner by placing him in recovery position and thrusting the cell phone to call emergency services without any prior training. They are also good guide and helping dogs and I wish I had one when I was in crutches and immobile on bed.
Update : Canine expert Phil raised doubts on Fray being a pure lab as labs come in yellow, brown and black. Hema was unsure too and said the seller said its lab whereas the doctor report reads it as mixed spaniel. After some research on the web I found out its a cross between Labrador Retriever and American Cocker Spaniel which is common across US.Click here to find Fray's look-alikes (scroll down), these are also known as Spanadors.
