While on a camping trip, Ted Kerasote met a dog—a Labrador
m ix—who was living on his own in the wild. They became
attached to each other, and Kerasote decided to name the
dog Merle and bring him home. There, he realized that
Merle’s native intelligence would be diminished by living
exclusively in the human world. He put a dog door in his
house so Merle could live both outside and in. A deeply touching portrait of a remarkable dog and his
relationship with the author, Merle’s Door explores the
issues that all animals and their human companions face as
their lives intertwine, bringing to bear the latest
research into animal consciousness and behavior as well as
insights into the origins and evolution of the human-dog
partnership. Merle showed Kerasote how dogs might live if
they were allowed to make more of their own decisions, and
Kerasote suggests how these lessons can be applied
universally.
