Fantastic! September 8, 2007

This is a wonderful book! This is how I wish my dog and I could live, roaming free in the Teton Mountains. Merle is an extraordinary dog that is allowed to truly become his own dog with Ted as his owner. The freedom that Merle is giving and the life he leads is wonderful and shows our dogs can be very intelligent and think for themselves. Even though Merle has great freedom, his true love is his owner, Ted, and that relationship is heartwarming. This book is a wonderful legacy to an amazing dog!

I have read many similar dog story books (Marley and Me, A Good Dog,From Baghdad with Love, etc) and I think this one is the best. I hated to put it down and started reading it again as soon as I finished it. The author has the life I wish I had, living in the Rockies and writing for a living. Merle was an increbidbly special dog. I have 3 dogs and while I love them, they are not well enough behaved to roam loose like Merle did. I also love the West, so I enjoyed the setting of the book.
One of the best books I have read! September 7, 2007

Merle's Door is one of the best books that I have read, its both informative and a terrific story. I felt that I grew to know Merle as if he was my own dog. Amazing, everyone should read!

What a wonderful, heart-tugging account of the life of an extraordinary man and his equally extraordinary dog! Well written, thought provoking, interspersed with references to the history of man and dog. The ending is one of the most heart-rending I've ever read. Well worth the read!!!
An outstanding, heart-warming story September 3, 2007

Merle was a ten-month-old dog living on his own in the Utah desert, and Ted was over forty and searching for a puppy companion. The two discovered each other and the lessons learned between them about nature and humanity comprise MERLE'S DOOR: LESSONS FROM A FREETHINKING DOG. Included in the account are insights on the dog-human bond, how animals and humans communicate, and the latest wolf research explaining how sharing leadership with a dog can lead to a better companion relationships. An outstanding, heart-warming story, MERLE'S DOOR is a 'must' for any general-interest lending library where animal stories are treasured.
