Merle's Door

For all of you who currently have, or had, or especially, are thinking of getting a dog, this book is a must.  I just finished it last night as I could not read it on the ferry ride home lest someone think I was in great distress with tears running down my cheeks.   It will change the way you think of your dog and most of all it will be a reminder of what wonderful creatures dogs are and how they bring such joy to our lives.  Ted Kerasote, the author, has a marvelous way of sharing Merle's life and it is a heartwarming story of man's truly best friend.  I'm going to go give Hank an extra belly rub now and then next week I'm going to the market to buy him a "real" bone.
