Labrador Retrievers were originally bred in Newfoundland to help fishermen retrieve nets and catch from icy waters. Their intelligent, eager-to-please temperament and natural retrieving instinct made them ideal working dogs, a role they still fill today as service animals, therapy dogs, and beloved family companions. The basket symbolizes their historic job and enduring willingness to help.
