From one who has done the work, dug through research, interviewed people and made a vast study of wolves-namely Dr. McCleery's wolves, to form an immense project of my own on the subject, I want to congratulate Nancy Avolese for her endearing story (of Dr. McCleery and his wolves) that she has so uniquely woven into her research. It is a story best understood and appreciated by an animal lover, yet it creates awareness and the importance of the doctor's single-handed saving of a sub species,serving to educate those who may lack understanding toward our wild life. In Dr. McCleery's day there was no safe place for wolves in the wild, just as it is today. He would not have considered turning them back into the wild, just to be shot. He wanted people to be able to see these beautiful and intelligent creatures-the only ones of their kind left in the world, thus he made the sacrifices! I know that it was a sight that changed my life. I was spell bound by the lobos as an eight year old girl.Nancy, you are an inspiration to those of us who are called to SAVE WOLVES!Thank you for your time and heart-felt dedication in writing Dr. Edward McCleery's story.Donna Close Murray, Author, Mottsie, Wolf of Great Price, a children's book.
Knowing my love of Wolves, a West Coast friend of mine who grew up around the Kane, Pennsylvania area, told me about the Wolf Man Dr. McCleery. I have lived in South Central Pennsylvania all my life and never knew of this doctor and his love of wolves. Upon searching for more information, I came upon Nancy's book and just had to have it. So I ordered it via . I received the book in just two days time directly from the author. Nancy signed my book before mailing it to me, and even left a personal note of thanks to me on the accompanying invoice. I am so thrilled to have this book and have only just begun to enjoy the reading of this incredible story about this doctor and his wolves. Thank You Nancy for sharing this wonderful story. I am treasuring your signed book and your kind personal note of thanks to me. My Best to You !!!
Beautifully written with such detail that I felt like I was standing in the cages with Dr. McCleery and his wolves. Throughout his career Dr. Edward McCleery's passion was to save the lobo wolf from extinction. He successfully proved with constant love and nourishment, he could form a a deep connection with these wolves that was unheard of and unimaginable. Unfortunately his personal life suffered as a result of his efforts. Whether you love wolves or not, this is a MUST READ! Written from a heartfelt as well as informative perspective.
Nancy Avolese does an amazing job of delivering this well-researched novel of the life of Dr. McCleery and his dedication to the plight of the Lobo Wolf. Her words clearly tied together the details of a how one man struggles and sacrifices for his cause, often at the expense of many, including himself. I felt like I was right there in the story participating in every event. Bravo for memorializing his life's work, so that others will gain a greater understanding about mankind's need learn about the many things that we take for granted! A must read!
This tells the story of a doctor dedicated to saving the only Lobo wolves in the world. Though it is set in my home town of Kane, PA, I never happened to see these beautiful animals while they were still in Kane.
My father was a truck driver in the late 50's. All my life I heard stories about the wolves in Kane. While reading the book, it was thrilling to be able to experience what my father saw as if we were there together. I didn't want the book or my journey down memory lane with my father to end. I can't wait to give him the book for Christmas. Well done Ms. Avolese. Thank you for writing about this great man and how he tried to save a species before we had laws and agencies to do so. I can only hope that we are all remembered fifty years later for our actions towards animals or humans.
Congratulations to Nancy Avolese for this very descriptive story about an unusual man and the lobo wolves. I live in Pennsylvania and had not been aware of this man's courage and dedication to keep a species of animals from extinction.
Great book. I spent my teenage years roaming the country side of Kane. It was interesting knowing this part of Kane's history.Saw my first wolf this past year in Yellowstone. Wild and free. I'm thankful to live in a nation that preseved so many wild places. Great learning about Edward and his love for this magnificent creature.
