Baxter is a big, black retriever who has many humorous encounters—both in the great outdoors and at home. With his can-do attitude, superior size and strength, tendency to retrieve bears and mountain lions instead of small game, and way of endearing himself to any hunter who takes a dog along, this gentle giant will carve out a place in the hearts of outdoorsmen for years to come. Baxter is ready to have fun, and no acre of woods or inch of water is spared from his delightfully outsized antics. Whether he’s pulling a stuck boat or car, destroying his latest doghouse, retrieving other hunters’ birds, or hauling in a sixty-pound catfish, Baxter is as entertaining as ever, mounting more laughs than game. With more than one hundred eighty original, beautifully illustrated, and cleverly captioned cartoons, there’s no mistaking this comic collection for anything but another sure-to-be beloved classic of syndicated cartoonist John Troy. The perfect gift for anyone who has ever found a friend in a rascal of a hunting dog, Baxter the Retriever is page after page of laughs from this hilarious hound.

I was all alone in the big cold barn when a man picked me up and took me to the pound. I thought I would never have a safe home again, but then a wonderful woman came in and picked me up and took me home. That was over five years ago and I have been the dog of the house ever since. Come outside and join me and my friends as we go on some amazing adventures in my backyard!
