Terrific light reading August 8, 2008
Heartwarming book for those of us who appreciate our spirited, independent dogs. Merle was very fortunate to encounter and befriend Ted Kerasote. I laughed, I cried, but most of all, I rooted for dogs everywhere to lead such wonderful, rich lives as Merle's.
Must read August 7, 2008
Excellently written book! And this one's not just for dog lovers but for anyone that is looking for a better understanding.... I will read this over and over again.
Thanks Merle August 4, 2008
I have so far read this book twice and unlike several reviewers I am not in the least bothered by style or content or flow or hidden angst (dirty old man indeed).
The fact of the matter is that Mr. Kersotes wrote a book about his best friend. He did it how he did it and to me it was great. The elements of a life lived aren't about linear flow, they have twists & turns and digressions. This book does too and given the subject matter I'd be kind of disappointed if it didn't.
The book was about the both of them, how they interacted and lived the expanse of a lifetime. The choices throughout the book were made by someone who loved his dog greatly and with the best intent weighed by his experiences and lifestyle. I can't and won't judge those decisions, I'm just glad he took the time to share such an adventure with the rest of us.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who has ever loved their dog through thick and thin. It will touch you in places that may still hurt and will remind you of what it means to be family with your pup.
Lastly, my dog Sam loves Big Bug Shuffle too (look up Merles dance music and you'll know what I mean)

I found this book to be information packed yet very readable and sometimes hard to put down. I would recommend it to anyone who owns a dog! Very good Read...
