“Tomato peelin’ start late this year. Meanwhiles we got to eat.”

“Once my locale was decided upon, the choice of my hero became automatic. The most popular breed of dogs along the Outer Banks (and at Life Boat Stations in general, for that matter) is the Chesapeake retriever, or the Chesapeake Bay dog, as he is also frequently called.

― S. P. Meek, Surfman: The Adventures of a Coast Guard Dog
