Excellent wilderness/dog/adventure story
Truly interesting AND UNIQUE story of author's five-year experience living with a wolf-malamute mix. He explains how he quickly tamed the vicious, physically abused animal simply by showing himself to be harmless and trustworthy, and then retells the most interesting parts of the whole five-year period. This man is no fool, and his naturalist background shows in the book----there is a lot of knowledge to be gleaned while you're simultaneously enjoying a novel.
And, if you own a husky or malamute, you might appreciate his knowledge of these beautiful dogs.
