Of all the animals that we come across though out our lives, each touches us in its own way, but few really leave a lasting impression. Merle's Door "Lessons From a Freethinking Dog" is Ted Kerasote's story of his life with Merle in the Utah desert. This beautiful story is filled both with the history of dogs and the adventurous journey of life through Merle and Ted's eyes.
This book taught me the meaning of true companionship and unwavering loyalty and love. Of the many lessons this book teaches, one of the most important is reciprocal leadership; we really can learn as much, if not more, from our animals than they learn from us. This book will make you laugh, and make you cry. And, in the end, you'll feel as if Merle is your best friend, too.
This wonderful story is a must read for anyone who knows what it's like to look into the eyes of an animal and be completely at peace with yourself and the world. It reminds us that the simple things in life are really what matter most, and that all of the peripheral material things in this fast paced universe inhibit our ability to appreciate the intangible things that we are blessed to have.
