A tall black military hat topped with a huge plume of black and white feathers dominates this portrait, and below it a yellow Labrador looks out with warm, honest eyes. The hat is trimmed in gold with an embossed golden eagle, and a chin strap runs along his cheek. His navy coat has big gold epaulettes, gold braid and a red sash with a tassel hanging at the chest. The background is a smoky olive-brown, which makes the gold and the pale fur stand out.

Labrador Retrievers are among the most popular dogs, known for their friendliness, intelligence and willingness to work. They were originally bred to help fishermen and hunters retrieve things from the water, so many love swimming and carrying objects in their mouths. Labs need regular exercise and mental activity, and without it they may chew or dig. They also love food, so measured meals matter, and a vet can help you keep your dog at a healthy weight. Their short, dense coat sheds a lot and benefits from regular brushing.

The officer would certainly follow orders, though he might stop to bring back anything that lands in the pond. His plume sways with each step, and his big smile would cheer up the whole regiment. Honestly, he looks like a leader who is trusted by everyone, and especially by anyone holding a snack.
