One of my favorite blogs, one where I get my daily dose of wilderness, is The Daily Coyote.

Granted, it’s not about a dog per see, but the way Shreve Stockton writes about her experience living in a one-room cabin in Wyoming with her cat, Eli, and her unexpected companion, Charlie the coyote, is one of the best things I’ve found on the Internet to date.

Charlie is a wild-born coyote who landed on Stockton’s doorstep after both his parents were shot for killing sheep. Not wanting to interfere with nature, but realizing that the baby coyote would not survive on his own, she took him in and they learned to respect each other and live together harmoniously.

As I wait patiently for the release of Stockton’s latest endeavor, The Daily Coyote: A Year With Charlie, I get my fix via her blog, which amuses, educates and inspired me to be one with nature.

While I enjoy snapping pictures of Greta, I wish I lived near Sue Bird, because she is a genius with a camera.

I stumbled across her Etsy store a while ago, and I (of course) immediately bought this and this.

Sue offers canine photography packages in various sizes/price points, dog books she creates with pictures of your dog, and she even takes photos of people.

She is truly a gifted photographer with a great eye for animals. If you don’t believe me, check it out for yourself.

And Sue, you have a standing invitation to stay at my house if you’re ever in Sacramento, Calif.!

Here’s a list of the best “dog” books I’ve read recently, in no particular order (other than first, because that’s my all-time favorite).

1. Sight Hound, by Pam Houston
It’s fiction, which I don’t generally care for. But with Houston, it’s always got a real-life base, and this book is a beautiful story about love between (wo)man and “beast”.

2. Marley & Me, by John Grogan
I’m so glad I made my husband read this before we got Greta, because it makes her look so good by comparison! Anyone considering getting a dog should read this worst-case-scenario story.

3. Merle’s Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog, by Ted Kerasote
Read my review here.

4. Woman’s Best Friend: Women Writers on the Dogs in Their Lives, edited by Megan McMorris
Short stories from my peeps.

5. Bark If You Love Me: What If Mr. Right Turns Out to Have Four Legs and a Tail?, by Louise Bernikow
Bernikow writes with wit, scarasm and passion about the boxer she found and saved.

6. Dreaming in Libro: How a Good Dog Tamed a Bad Woman, by Louise Bernikow
The sequel to Bark If You Love Me, but you don’t have to read both to get the big picture.

7. What the Dogs Have Taught Me: And Other Amazing Things I’ve Learned, by Merrill Markoe
Not all dog-related stories here, but all with one theme: FUNNY.

8. Dog is My Co-Pilot: Great Writers on the World’s Oldest Friendship, from the editors of The Bark
Writers, including a Ph.D. and a D.V.M., as well as Pulitzer Prize winner and a comedienne, wax poetic about canines.

9. Howl: A Collection of the Best Contemporary Dog Wit, from the editors of The Bark
More stories, most good, some great, some terrible. Read my review here.

Answering many of the canine mysteries of the world.

Want any/all of these? I get all my reads here and here.

There are some great, educational videos out there in cyberspace, such as this one on DogChannel.com, which features author Ken Foster, who penned Dogs I Have Met and the People They Found. Here, Foster shares his views on pit bulls, among other things. (I have worked in the past with BadRap, Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pitbulls, and I firmly believe that the breed is not the probelm, it’s often the owners.) 

Bill Cosby and his terrier, Harry, sit down for a quick interview, and when Cosby’s in the house, you can bet you’ll be laughing in no time.

Lastly, you can now determine the exact breed of your dog, via this new product. So if you don’t mind spending some bucks so you can say with definity just what your dog is, you may want to check it out. 

Happy viewing!
