From Barnes & NoblePerhaps the most touching proof of our love of dogs is how deeply we mourn them. In his Merle's Door, Ted Kerasote eulogized his Labrador Mix in ways so touching that the book became first a Discover Great New Writers selection and then a nationwide bestseller. In Pukka's Promise, he goes from personal loss to finding ways to extend the longevity and improving the health of the pets we love. His lively exploration takes him around the world as he seeks out dog breeders, veterinarians, and canine lovers with specialist knowledge about these issues. The result is a winning combination of good news for dog owners and absorbing stories delivered in Kerasota's signature style.
