Synopsis When Ted Kerasote adopts a stray Labrador while on a camping trip, he thinks he's just getting a pet, but he soon learns, like so many dog owners before him, that he's entering into a true relationship with an idiosyncratic individual. Filled with humor, insight, and compassion, MERLE'S DOOR draws on both colorful anecdotes and the science of animal behavior to show how Merle in particular, and dogs in general, are complex and fascinating creatures.
