This is a wonderful story about a dog, yet it is also very factual and educational on communicating with your dog! I loved it and have recommended it to many of my Lab friends!
 Too Much Non-Dog Info February 18, 2008

I liked this book at first, but became frustrated as the story went on. The parts about Merle and his personality were fantastic. The story was blatently a middle aged man tooting his own horn about how fantastic his life was, how many women he had, how bitter he was about being dumped by a gorgeous younger woman, etc. Half way through the book he kept reminding me of a dirty old man, and eventually made it so I couldn't finish the last 50 pages. The author takes every chance to point out how new age and fantastic he is, when really, I don't care. I want to hear about the dog's point of view, not a middle aged writer.
Beautifully written...incredible February 9, 2008

After finishing Merle's Door late last night, I find I still cannot stop thinking about it. Never in my life have I read such a beautifully written account of a life - canine or human. I can only wish to one day experience a friendship like the one that exsisted between Ted and Merle. The last paragraph grabbed me and still hasn't let go. I advise anyone, dog lover or not, to read this book. It is worth it simply to understand the meaning behind one simple phrase - "Ha-ha! I dance!" There is not doubt in my mind that I will go straight home tonight and begin the adventure with Ted and Merle all over again...and I cannot wait.

Merle's Door is an amazing story of two extraordinary beings whose paths crossed serendipitously. I feel honored I had the opportunity to share their lives. This is a story that needs/deserves to be read. You will never experience another like it.
