As so often happens, I came to find this book in a roundabout way and I'm delighted I haven't missed seeing it. It's entertaining, informative,occasionally heart-wrenching, at times laugh-out-loud funny. I love the way the author translates dog language into English so we know what this extraordinary creature is doing and thinking. Some would maintain it's presumptuous to do so; that we humans can't begin to understand another species' thoughts, but this author was so attuned to the spirit of his canine companion that I can't help but think he got it right.Get more detail about Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog.
