It was almost midnight as the young dog, a golden Labrador mix, could be seen wandering down a dirt road near a grove of tall cottonwood trees in the middle of nowhere. Just beyond the trees you could hear sounds coming from a river. He was alone in the desert of southeastern Utah next to the San Juan River.
As the lab continued his journey he heard what sounded like a vehicle in the distance. He turned, listened and waited and soon became hopeful when he noticed approaching head lights. So began an extraordinary story of how Ted Kerasote and the dog he called Merle, began and amazing and a deep life changing friendship.
The book is well written, heart rendering, entertaining and wrapped in humor. The author who has traveled from Alaska to Africa and back home to Wyoming also explores ideas about the science behind the behavior of dogs. This book is highly recommended by more than 90% of readers and it won the National Outdoor Book Award.
