Labs With Abs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Andrew Jeffrey Wright's Bizarre Picture Book of Studly Canines

— April 4, 2009 — Pop Culture
“Labs With Abs” is a picture book with drawings depicting Labrador Retriever dogs in some really steamy scenarios. Artist Andrew Jeffrey Wright sketches these beefy canine studs in stereotypically sexy scenes. 

It sounds highly unusual and bizarre, but take a quick scan of this storybook and you will soon understand this ironic pup smut and be giggling like a little schoolgirl.

While one page displays a Lab coming out of a swimming pool dripping wet with rippling muscles, another has a one leaning nonchalantly against a fence chewing a piece of grass dreamily, just as a classic cowboy dreamboat would.

These four-legged doggie dudes have abs that are “So Real! So Tite!”
