Expanded Description:
Now including a wonderful new photo insert chronicling Merle’s life, this national bestseller explores the relationship between humans and dogs. How would dogs live if they were free? Would they stay with their human friends?
Merle and Ted found each other in the Utah desert— Merle was living wild and Ted was looking for a pup to keep him company. As their bond grew, Ted taught Merle how to live around wildlife, and Merle taught Ted about the benefits of letting a dog make his own decisions.
Using the latest in wolf research and exploring issues of animal consciousness and leadership and the origins of the human-dog relationship, Ted Kerasote takes us on the journey he and Merle shared. As much a love story as a story of independence and partnership, Merle’s Door is tender, funny, and ultimately illuminating.

| Reviewer: Lora Durr |
| This book was moving in a very different way than most of the 'biographies' I've read about a beloved dog. The writing incorporates research facts into the heart-felt story of a man's love of his dog. Though my dogs do not live the life of Merle and I don't think I would be comfortable raising a dog as Ted did, I found myself questioning my life with dogs while reading. Ted brings to light so many aspects of our relationships with dogs - and with humans. A great book - all dog lovers should read - and an interesting read for those in the animal field, be it veterinarians or trainers. |
