Editorial Review: 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. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Moving story, beautifully writtenYou will smile, laugh and cry reading this book. Upon finishing it, you will have been alongside Ted as he stumbles upon an abandoned puppy in the Utah wilderness, as the dog chooses to stay with him, and as the two get to know and love each other. Painstakingly written, this honest account of one man's love for his dog and vice-versa will draw you in and keep you. Months after reading the book, I still think of it's story, and lessons. Rating: - Merle's DoorI read this book a few months ago and since I've bought it for several friends, They also loved Merle's Door so I bought copies for all my family to include with their holiday gifts. It is a most moving story about a special dog who seems to be an old wise soul in dog form (this time)written by his friend and companion who is pretty wise himself. It is the best book I've read in years and I recommend it the highest. Rating: - WOW! What a Read!I cannot really add to what has already been said about this exquisite novel except to reiterate what many others have said...whether or not you love or live with dogs...this is a true treasure of a book. I have read many dog books and live with 3 beautiful dogs of my own (who might be considered "captives" in Merle's eyes!) and this is hands down one of the most impactful and insightful books I have ever read. The love felt between Kerasote and Merle is palpable in the pages; I really never wanted ... Read More Rating: - A Book Every Dog Lover Will Enjoy. I bought Merle's Door because the sub-title "Lessons from a Freethinking Dog" caught my eye. I was in Pet Smart buying a bag of Eukaneuba kibble for my nine-month old Standard Schnauzer puppy named Otto, who is about as freethinking a dog as you are ever going to meet. Ted Kerasote leads the reader/dog owner-lover on a wonderful adventure into the hidden life of dogs; not simply "what dogs think," from a Pavlovian standpoint, but why dogs are the way they are. On more than ... Read More Rating: - Great bookI loved Merle's Door. It was well written book on a relationship between man and dog. A tear jerker, but one of my favorites.
