Publisher's note

Describes how the author adopted a dog living on its own in the wild that he encountered during a camping trip and his decision to install a dog door in his house so that the dog could live both inside and outside, in a study of the human-dog partnership, animal consciousness and behavior, and how dogs might live if they can make some of their own decisions. Reprint.

Annotation

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.


When Ted Kerasote adopts a stray Labrador while on a camping trip, he thinks he's just getting a pet, but he soon learns, like so many dog owners before him, that he's entering into a true relationship with an idiosyncratic individual. Filled with humor, insight, and compassion, MERLE'S DOOR draws on both colorful anecdotes and the science of animal behavior to show how Merle in particular, and dogs in general, are complex and fascinating creatures.
