Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog
While on a camping trip, Ted Kerasote met, and became attached, to a Labrador mix living on his own in the wild. Naming the dog Merle, he decides to bring him home, but after realizing that Merle’s native intelligence would be diminished by living exclusively in the human world, he installs a dog door in his house, allowing Merle to live both outside and in . . .
A moving, insightful love story about the vast possibilities of the relationship between humans and dogs, Merle's Door explores the issues that all animals and their human companions face as their lives intertwine.
