Labrador Dad Blanket for Dog-Loving Fathers

Labrador dad blanket fans will spot the big yellow dog at the center right away, grinning under the words MY SPIRIT ANIMAL. The lines around him are written for the owner who knows exactly how much his dog runs the household, and that is what makes this one feel personal.

What the design shows

The centerpiece is a happy yellow Labrador with its tongue out and two paws draped over the edge of a cream panel, with small pink hearts and gold sparkles around its head. Above it, the words MY SPIRIT ANIMAL sit in bold brown lettering, and across the middle a wide band reads Labrador Dad in large letters with paw prints inside the letters. Surrounding this center are smaller panels, each with its own dog. One shows a yellow Lab lying down under the line My Labrador is My Therapy. Another has a black Lab bounding forward beside the words My Labrador Thinks I’m Kind of A Big Deal. A sleepy yellow dog curls up under I Work Hard So My Labrador Can Have a Better Life, and a black dog sits beside Be the Person Your Labrador Thinks You Are. The border repeats paw prints and bones in brown and cream, tying all the boxes together into one warm patchwork picture.

Who it was made for

This blanket is for the dad who comes home to a dog waiting at the door and whose lap is never free of fur. You will likely notice the panel about dog hair first, because it names a truth every Lab owner lives with. The phrase Labrador dad blanket works well for the man who calls his dog a best friend and means it. Use it on a lazy Sunday, when the afternoon sun is on the couch and your dog has claimed the spot next to you. It also fits the owner who takes his Lab on long walks and needs a warm wrap afterward.

As a gift and every day

This is an easy pick for Father’s Day, a birthday or the winter holidays, especially for someone who talks about his Labrador more than anything else. Pair it with a new leash or a box of dog treats for a gift with a theme. You can also keep it for yourself, folded over the back of the sofa for nights when your dog wants to stretch out and you want to stay put. Choose the fleece throw for everyday lounging or the sherpa throw when you want something extra cozy.
