Ted Kerasote
Traveler, explorer, photographer, and writer Ted Kerasote has crisscrossed the globe from Asia to Scandinavia, the North Hemisphere to the South, and from the Alps’ peaks to African savannahs. His books, essays, and photographs often deal with the complex relationships and interdependence of animals, people, and the natural environment, and have appeared in Audubon, National Geographic Traveler, The New York Times and more.
His attempts to reconcile the disparate needs of the environment, human civilization, and animals has earned him honors by both PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and the pro-hunting Izaak Walton League of America. His latest book, the New York Times bestseller Pukka’s Promise, explores the human-animal bond and advises us how to help our canine companions live longer, fuller lives.
Kerasote’s most popular book is the bestselling Merle’s Door: Lessons From a Freethinking Dog. After Merle, a homeless pup, adopted Ted in the Utah desert, they both began training each other as companions and partners. From Merle, Ted learned how to develop their human-canine relationship into more than he had ever imagined.
