What do You think about Three Among The Wolves: A Couple And Their Dog Live A Year With Wolves In The Wild (2004)?
Not only the author of Three Among the Wolves, Helen Thayer is the person who spent a year with wolves in the wild. I believe her purpose is to teach readers that wolves aren't anywhere close to what most people think of them as. She also want us to realize that they desperately need to be protected along with the rest of the wilderness. Helen Thayer was the first woman in the world to trek solo to the north pole. On that trip, she found her dog, which was the link that got the wild wolves to trust her.

Endearing story about a middle aged couple and their wolf-dog who set out to study and live beside wild wolves in Alaska and the Arctic Circle for one year. They encounter three families of wolves on their journey, which they are able to observe, photograph and document with painstaking detail.Fascinating insights about wolves in the wild, their attachments, their patterns, their social structure. Thayer is a world renowned explorer, and was the first woman to solo walk and ski to the magnetic North Pole without snowmobile or dog sled.This book could have been a dry scientific treatise on wolves, but for Thayer's compassion and humanity. Her observations are astute, and she seems to see right into the wolves very souls. Some of her recounting gets a little redundant at times, particularly during the six months she and her husband stay with the first family of wolves, but if you stick with it, their adventures at the Arctic Circle prove exciting and fascinating.
