There is something about the look in a dog’s eyes after they complete the retrieve.

A look of pride, because they know that they worked hard for this. A look of joy because they know that they pleased you. A look that shows the drive that these dogs naturally have. 

And I’m sure as they look in our eyes, and see the same pride in a dog that we have worked hard to train. A look of joy because we can see how much they love to do this. A look that shows the drive that we have to go out with them and do it all again. 

Most of all, a look of love that is shared between us-both for the sport, and for each other.
