Pukka: The Pup After Merle
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, October 2010
From the author of the best-selling Merle's
Door -- about which Elizabeth Marshall Thomas said, "Could be the
best book ever written about dogs" -- comes the irresistible story of
his new dog, Pukka
Since the publication of the best-selling Merle's Door, Ted Kerasote has received thousands of e-mails asking two
questions: "Have you gotten another dog?" and "Are you writing a new book?" Pukka: The Pup After Merle answers both, in the most heartwarming way.
Told in the charming voice of Ted's new pup and illustrated with more
than two hundred photos, Pukka tells the story of how Ted met
the young yellow Lab, recounting the early days of their bonding as
they explore Kelly, Wyoming, and the wider world. Walks become hikes
and hikes become climbs, their adventures culminating in a rugged
wilderness journey that teaches both Pukka and Ted something new about
the dog-human partnership.
Filled with stunning images of the West, Pukka is a love story
as well as Ted's take on raising a puppy. It will do pictorially what
Merle did with words -- show how dogs thrive when treated as partners,
while illustrating the many ways that any dog can open the door to our
hearts.
