About the Book

The charming and poignant story of the relationship between a philosophy professor and his pet wolf Mark Rowlands was a young philosophy professor, rootless and searching for life's greater meaning. Shortly after arriving at the University of Alabama, he noticed a classified ad in the local paper advertising wolf clubs for sale, and decided he had to investigate, if only out of curiosity. It was love at first sight, and the bond that grew between philosopher and wolf reaffirms for us the incredible relationships that exist between man and animal.More than just an exotic pet, Brenin exerted an immense influence on Rowlands both as a person, and strangely enough as a philosopher, leading him to reevaluate his attitude toward love, happiness, nature, death, and the true meaning of companionship.

About the Author :
Mark Rowlandsis currently Professor of Philosophy at the University of Miami.

Review :
"This moving account will be recognized as a seminal work of philosophy that forces us to re-evaluate our view of the human animal." --John Gray, author of "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus" "A sort of autobiography mixed with wolf philosophy, human philosophy, and an exploration of the bonds between human and animal." --"Booklist" "Not everyone can blend wildlife lore and Wittgenstein in an entertaining manner, but Rowlands has no trouble. Delightful and eye-opening." --Connnie Ogle, "Miami Herald" "A snarly misanthrope, Rowlands recovered his own humanity by loving a noble beast and (with a little help from Aristotle, Descartes, and Jack Daniel's) learning to howl at the moon." --"O", "The Oprah Magazine" "One of the most intense reading experiences of my life. It is a profound and beautiful book." --Jeffry Masson, author of "When Elephants Weep"
