Extremely well written, overflowing with useful down-to-earth information. My only complaint is that because of the title, only wolfdog people will read this book. Wolfdogs A-Z should be required reading for all companions of canines! - Dr. Ian Dunbar, veterinarian, animal behaviorist & author
Impossible to put down. A must-read for anybody who has an interest in these sometimes difficult, often rewarding animal companions. A great book! - Monty Sloan, Wolf Behavior Specialist, Wolf Park, Indiana
Customer Reviews
Value Without Measure
I have found the contents of this book to be incredibly valuable. So few resources are out there to help guide people in the unique care of these special creatures and even less that encourage a humane approach. Mrs. Wilde candidly describes how to interact with wolfdogs and paints a clear and accurate image of what it's really like to be a wolf parent. Through her writing we get a window into both the smiles and tears of her experience. This experience only deepens as you explore more of her books. Also highly recommended is, "Hit by a Flying Wolf." I warn you, I finished my copy in a day because no force in the universe to get me to put it down.
