Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A deeply touching portrait of a remarkable animal, Merle's Door explores the issues that all animals and their human companions face as their lives intertwine. Author Ted Kerasote presents the latest research into animal behavior as well as the origins and evolution of human-dog interaction. Kerasote's adopted Labrador mix, Merle, showed the author how dogs might live were they free; the author suggests how they should be allowed to live and the doors that should always remain open to them.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Moving story, beautifully written
You 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: 5 out of 5 stars - Merle's Door
I 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: 5 out of 5 stars - 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: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book
I loved Merle's Door. It was well written book on a relationship between man and dog. A tear jerker, but one of my favorites.
