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 ...
After falling in love with Merle, in Kerasote's previous book Merle's Door, and loving the Tetons as I do, I could not resist the newest dog chapter in Ted's life. Pukka: the Pup After Merle, is completely illustrated with photos on every page of Pukka's beginnings with Ted. How can one not?
MY THOUGHTSLOVED ITThis story about Ted Kerasote's new dog Pukka is filled with heart warming tales of puppyhood from actually researching what he wanted in a new dog after his beloved Merle died, to doing everything he could to insure this new dog would have a long life. Interspersed with the stor...

MARVELOUS! I give this book 5 stars without a second thought! You cry, you chuckle, you laugh out loud, you read again sections of other dog books mentioned in the text that one has^previously read, you search Wikipedia concerning subjects that the text brings to your attention and about which you r...
I read this book a few years back, before I attempted writing reviews (ones beyond a few lines anyway). It has been on my favorite’s shelf ever since then and Merle has drifted into my thoughts now and again, so I thought I would try to add a few more words.One day Merle, a young yellow lab mix, sh...
