A lyrical and revealing memoir of living with wolves, from the creators of the Emmy Award winning Discovery Channel documentary.

For centuries, wolves have haunted the human imagination. It has been accepted as conventional wisdom that they are savage predators, creatures of nightmare. Determined to overcome such misconceptions, Jim and Jamie Dutcher spent six years in a tented camp on the edge of Idaho's wilderness, living with and filming a pack of wolves. Now, in this lyrical memoir, the Dutchers share their experience of life among these intelligent and elusive animals.

By socializing with the pack from the time they were pups, the Dutchers were able to gain the wolves' trust and observe their behavior in a way that few people ever have. What they witnessed was remarkable: a complex nature oriented toward family life and strong social bonds.

Wolves at Our Door is much more than a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Dutchers' Emmy Award-winning Discovery Channel documentary. It is the story of two people brought together by their devotion to wildlife and held together by their belief in each other. It is about their struggle to keep the project alive amid marauding mountain lions, forest fires, subzero temperatures—and the never-ending storm of controversy that surrounds the wolf.

Judge About Books Wolves at Our Door: The Extraordinary Story of the Couple Who Lived with Wolves

This book was incredible! I am surprised with my forever love of wolves that I had never heard of the Documentaries that Jim Dutcher filmed, but I was a bit young when they were released. This book was very moving and really shows how much conversation depends on many types of industries. I was not surprised that this book/films were located in Idaho, because Idaho has quite a bit of secrecy. I have lived in Idaho for almost 8 years, and have driven past Winchester and noticed the signs for

A really interesting look at wolves done so respectfully by the Dutchers. A good solid read throughout but the ending just put it over the top for me emotionally. I am looking forward to watching the documentary now that I "know" the wolves. I can't wait to see them in action.

Wonderful book, and a lovely read.

Absolutely stunning! I read this book while at a guest lodge at 9200-feet in Dubois, Wyoming. The Dutcher's had stayed at Brooks Lake Lodge (the cozy, snowed in abode I was fortunate enough to experience) and shared a copy of their book with the staff. In my stay, I met a real-life Native American Medicine Woman who helped me 'find' my spirit guide, the wolf. Thereafter, I picked up this book and could not put it down. The detail and the similarities between pack culture and human culture amazed

Wolves are dangerous animals, and yet mans best friend is actually a domesticated wolf. Wolves were almost exterminated in western United States, and in states where they had become extremely rare, there were many who wanted to give wolves a second chance at survival. Jim and Jamie Dutchers Wolves at Our Door describes an attempt to reintroduce wolves and provides an insight into what wolves are really like.Inspired by the Endangered Species Act of 1967, the Dutchers, in 1990, decided to set up

I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be watching the documentaries.

The true story of the wildlife filmmaker (Jim) and employee of the National Zoo (Jamie) who met and married during a six-year project studying a pack of captive wolves who had been hand-raised in a fenced environment in Idahos Sawtooth Mountains, but more or less left to their own natural inclinations. Dutcher is aware of how controversial his project is (both from ranchers who see wolves as the devil and from environmentalists who think he is selfishly playing God by hand-raising wolves and
