Summary

More
Gary Paulsen is an author and adventurer who has competed in two Iditarods, survived alone in the Minnesota wilderness, and climbed the Bighorn Mountains—none of which would have been possible without his truest companions: his animals. Sled dogs rescued him in Alaska, a sickened poodle guarded his well-being at home, and a horse led him across a desert. Through his interactions with dogs, horses, birds, and more, Paulsen has been struck with the belief that animals know more than we may fathom.

Paulsen's understanding and admiration of animals is well known, and in This Side of Wild—which has taken a lifetime to write—he proves the ways in which they have also taught him to be a better person.
