Between Dog and Wolf: Understanding the Connection and the Confusion
Well written, thoroughly researched and grounded in science, this book is a must-read for all shelter personnel, as well as anyone who wants a deeper insight into the often misunderstood animals known as wolfdogs. --Nicole Wilde, author Living with Wolfdogs and Wolfdogs A-ZIntelligently written, good style, and based on an enlightened experience…This could be the best dog/wolf book ever written. --Ray Coppinger, co-author Dogs: A New Understanding of Canine Origin, Behavior and EvolutionAnimal shelters have to make triage decisions all the time with wolf dog hybrids which are usually deemed defacto too dangerous and euthanized unless they can be quickly placed with a qualified hybrid rescue. Addams and Miller provide a book which provides shelter workers the necessary background on behavior traits and guidelines so that decisions can be based on the behavior of the animals in front of them rather than on a questionable label that merely refers to their supposed ancestry. This book gives shelters tools to make humane decisions about animals turned in as wolf dog hybrids. --Pat Goodmann, M.S., has worked with Wolf Park s wolves since 1974, plays a primary role in teaching Wolf Park s seminars, and guides its behavioral research program.
