Product 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.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. I'm a dog trainer and find myself concerned that folks might think the ideas presented are worthy of consideration.
One of the things that's a bit confusing is not knowing what the goal of this book was. I believed it to be a loving narrative about a man and a dog. This was definitely part of the book.

This is a truly inspiring and marvelous book that all dog owners and lovers should read. The story is written with wonderful details and love about an animal who shows us ourselves and themselves. Something to remember as a dog owner is that a dog can revert to his instincts, regardless of his circumstances. Merle shows us that love conquers all...and gives so much back. I have given this book to several friends who have also enjoyed it. Pass it on!!!

I'm a big dog lover.
Here's probably one of the best true story dog books of all time. A friend at work and another dog lover told me " If you like dogs you got to read Merle's Door". She was nice and gave me the book to read.
We see Ted as a single writer living in a rural area of Wyoming. While camping he finds a slightly malnourished but beautiful 1 yr old puppy/dog mixed breed male large dog. A ranger says the dog has been around for a while but no one knows who owns him. ... Read More

The author understands more about how dogs think and respond to humans and their environment than most breeders.
Rating: -
Books about dogs are everywhere - from understanding and training them to stories about them. But no other book presents the unique blend of being both a moving love story between a dog and his human, and fascinating and well-researched information about how dogs think, communicate, and interact with their world.
The story begins when Merle, a big, reddish dog, appears out of nowhere near the San Juan River, where Ted Kerasote, a well-known nature writer, is on a rafting trip. Merle chooses ... Read More
