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: - Release the hounds.Heart warming account of a man and his dog. Loved the conversations with Merle. For those with dogs you can understand the level of communication that goes on. Only downside is that this is an atypical man/dog relationship in that Merle is allowed (and encouraged) to roam freely through town, etc. For most of us, even those living ruraly, this is neither an option or a good idea. It is wonderful though to see and live such freedom through others (dogs). Loved it. Rating: - Excellent Guide to Healthy Dog PartneringNot all of us are as fortunate to live in an environment that affords the perfect dog-human arrangement. But, this example of what dogs really want and need provides us all with a guide as to how we can be better canine companions. Rating: - Must read for any dog-loverAnyone who has ever had the privilege of being loved by a dog must read this book. The story of the symbiotic relationship between Merle and his owner Ted is a story of true love, friendship and compassion. Unconditional love in its purest form. In addition, there is a lot of scientific information regarding the innate traits of dogs and other non-human species that left me wondering who, really, is more evolved. Touching, tender and true, this book continues to reside on my bookshelf ...

The two of them live a wild and adventurous life in the mountains of Wyoming, which Kerasote recounts with vivid details. Kerasote makes scientific detours during the telling of his story to explain how dogs evolved and why they have certain attributes. The factoids are at times so interesting, and Kerasote's observations so astute, that I realized ... Read More Rating:  - Omaha FactsI enjoyed the book very much. It's a good read and well written. However, I was disturbed by the author stating that the squirrel Merle caught in Omaha was a Grey. As far as I know Omaha Nebraska only has Fox Squirrels of brown or black color phase. I am surprised the author didn't know this. Perhaps he used Omaha as his girl friends' home town to mask her true residence and identy and has never really been there. For a noted and well published naturalist and outdoor writer as Mr Kerasote, I find this lack ... Read More
