Dog Book Recommendations

"Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog", by Ted Kerasote

"3 Among the Wolves", by Helen Thayer

Merle was a remarkable dog that was raised in unique circumstances
that allowed almost complete freedom. He could come and go as he
chose, eat when he wanted, do what he wanted. While such freedom is
virtually impossible in modern urban/suburban and even rural America,
the lessons learned bring valuable insight into the true nuture of
dogs and our relationship with them.

Charlie, one of the "3" among the wolves, was one eighth wolf and
seven eighths huskie, who accompanied his people on research
expeditions to study wild wolves. His acceptance by the wild wolves,
and the communication between them, teaches many lessons about the
true nature of dogs, and, like Kerasote's book, provides insight not
possible to most of us.

Warning: as Hemingway wrote, "All true stories end in death", but they
lived amazing lives, and are both highly recommended to dog lovers.
