Reseña del editor:

A bird hunter reflects on the connections between himself and a once-in-a-lifetime bird dog, observing their joined lives at home in Southern fields. "A treasure -- the next best thing to a day afield". -- Kirkus Reviews

Contraportada:

Every bird hunter has his favorite bird dog. Spook was that special dog for David Henderson, and in this warm, memorable book he celebrates not only a remarkable animal but all bird dogs and the sport they share with men.Spook is the protagonist who crystallizes this bird hunter's memories. This book is a reflection of more than half a century of quail and bird dogs, kids, pups, bird hunters, and triumphs and disappointments. Spook is not just a journal of points and shots, but a shrewd look at the character of the genetic "broke" shooting dog and the dog's relationship with his boss, the hunter.Spook is a symbol of the sport of bird hunting, and a marker for bird dogs come and gone.
