About the author

After an award-winning filmmaking career, Jim Dutcher turned his energies to a life-altering focus: the wolf. Armed with a Forest Service permit, he and his wife Jamie lived in a tented camp bordering Idaho's Sawtooth Wilderness. For six years, they documented the social hierarchy and behavior of the Sawtooth Pack, wolves they bottle-fed as pups. The Dutchers' extraordinary experiences with what they discovered to be intelligent and compassionate animals led to three Emmy Award-winning documentaries.
Yet with wolves still persecuted by a mostly fearful and misinformed public, the Dutchers knew they needed to do more. In 2005, they founded Living With Wolves. A nonprofit that addresses the complex issues surrounding the historical eradication and Endangered Species reintroduction of wolves, Living With Wolves battles laws that allow the brutal hunting of these beautiful animals.

Wolfie picked this one. It was a great book to read with the family. Since N is obsessed with wolves it was great to learn more about their personalities.

Nonfiction for young readers has come a long way in the past few years. National Geographic Kids Chapters are beginner chapter books: short and easy to comprehend. I gave it three stars because it jumped around a bit, but I will certainly recommend it to the right reader.

Jim e Jamie Dutcher sono fotografi e documentaristi, che hanno preso a cuore il salvataggio del lupo in Nord America, dove è quasi sparito a seguito di una caccia insensata e spietata.
Il libro, ricchissimo di meravigliose foto, spiega l'importanza e la bellezza di questo magnifico predatore.

Wow todo acá fue hermoso. Te describen bien al lobo, te explican sus características , cosas importantes del lobo, etc. Aparte las imágenes están hermosas lo único que no me gusto es que el prólogo estuvo algo largo y aburrido para mi y aveces cuando hablaba Jim se me hacía algo aburrido (No en todos los casos) pero bueno yo a este libro le doy 4 estrellas :)

Since wolves usually hide from people, Jim Dutcher knew he would need to do something creative to be able to study these wild animals. He fenced an area of about 25 acres and set up a camp inside the fence because he needed to see how the wolves lived. Now he needs wolves – how can he get wolves into his fence area? He started his own pack. By going to wolf research centers he was able to find two young males and two young females.

Incredible insight into the social aspect of wild wolves as seen by the authors, Jim and Jamie Dutcher, who lived with the Sawtooth Pack for years, studying their behavior and sharing their findings with the world. The book includes amazing, art-quality photographs of the Sawtooth Pack and stories of the authors' experiences, as well as a CD of the wolves' vocalizations. I'm listening to it right now. Hauntingly beautiful - sends chills down my spine.
