Synopsis: The bestselling author of Merle&’s Door offers a &“moving, pictorial love story&” of man and his new best friend—full of dog care knowledge and insight (People). After Ted Kerasote&’s beloved dog Merle passed, the author received thousands of emails asking two questions: &“Have you gotten another dog?&” and &“Are you writing a new book?&” Now, the bestselling canine lover answers both, in the most heartwarming way. Told in Pukka the pup&’s charming voice and accompanied by more than 200 photos, Pukka: The Pup After Merle tells the story of how Ted found Pukka. It recounts the early days of their bonding as they explored both Ted&’s hometown of Kelly, Wisconsin, and the wider world. As walks become hikes and hikes become climbs, pup and man&’s adventures culminate 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—and adorable pictures of Pukka—this book also shares Ted&’s in-depth research on the best food, toys, and medical choices he could provide to ensure that Pukka would live the longest, healthiest life possible. &“Glimpses of Pukka&’s charmed life are interwoven with vast amounts of important information . . . that [encourage] you to draw your own conclusions and make the best choices for you and your dog.&” —The Bark
