NEW: Wolves at Our Door

Wolves are among the world’s least understood animals and among its most persecuted. Wildlife filmmakers Jim and Jamie Dutcher set out to change that by living alongside a wolf pack. They came not as scientists but as trusted companions in the pack’s family life.

Beneath Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains, they built a remote camp where the Sawtooth Pack could live and roam freely. For six years they braved wildfires, subzero winters, mountain lions, and anti-wolf hostility. Along the way, they watched pups grow up, leaders emerge, and the pack mourns its dead, cares for the sick, and teaches its young.

This revised and expanded edition of the classic Wolves at Our Door includes 160 color photographs, many never before published. It reads like a novel and shows that family, curiosity, and play matter as much to wolves as they do to us.

CURIOSITY. COMPASSION. FAMILY FIRST.

After living among the wolves of The Sawtooth Pack for years, Jim and Jamie Dutcher present their book, The Wisdom of Wolves: Lessons from the Sawtooth Pack, providing groundbreaking observations of their unique experience.

As strong, and just as immediately recognizable as the ties that unite a human family, the emotional bonds shared among wolves are far more complex than ever realized, and now are detailed in this exceptional book.

The Dutchers’ unparalleled involvement with wolves in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho shows beyond a doubt that reason, caring and emotion are not unique to human beings. In this fascinating new book, the Dutchers go beyond their own studies to share the work of experts in the field, from Denali to Yellowstone, clearly confirming their unique personal observations.

The Wisdom of Wolves: Lessons from the Sawtooth Pack will fascinate anyone interested in the inner social lives of wolves while sharing important information with wildlife conservation advocates of all ages.
