Summary:

When Ted Kerasote was ready for a new dog after losing his beloved Merle, he knew he would want to give puppy Pukka the longest life possible. But how? Often, conventional wisdom is wrong. Traveling the dog world from Europe through North America and interviewing breeders, vets, and leaders of the animal welfare movement, Kerasote uses cutting edge research to help listeners rethink the choices they make for their dogs. Kerasote interweaves science with the joyful story of raising Pukka.
