Told as much through photographs as through text, the story of Pukka's puppyhood and travels with Ted make for entertaining reading especially for kids who love dogs. From the early days of puppy aptitude tests to the young pup days with wolves, bear, and elk, the photos lead us through the West and celebrate the life of a dog in the great outdoors. Ted and Pukka hike and boat and climb mountains together. A great education about the wonders of the wilderness, sharing adventures in nature and the great connection between a man and his dog. 208 pages Ages 7-11
