I just finished reading "Merle's Door: Lessons from a Free-Thinking Dog" by Ted Kerasote. Great book. The author shares his stories of his life with a dog that found him while rafting on the San Juan river in Utah. He mixes in personal experiences along with scientific studies on why dogs act the way they do.

If you liked "Marley and Me" you will like this one.
