This is more than just a book about a man and his dog. This is a journey of passion, dedication, and how to be in a relationship without keeping those you love on a tight lease. It is about freedom and sharing the journey of life with someone who really, truly understands you. It is a mix between a biography of Merle and an in-depth look at the lives of dogs including evolutionary history, psychology, anatomy, and social dynamics. This book is packed with information and as well as emotion as Kerasote chronicles the life of a truly amazing dog.
