Resumen del Editor
When Ted Kerasote was ready for a new dog after losing his beloved Merle - who died too soon, as all our dogs do - he knew that he would want to give his puppy Pukka the longest life possible. But how to do that? So much has changed in the way we feed, vaccinate, train, and live with our dogs from even a decade ago.
In an adventure that echoes The Omnivore’s Dilemma with a canine spin, Kerasote tackles all those subjects, questioning our conventional wisdom and emerging with vital new information that will surprise even the most knowledgeable dog lovers. Can a pure bred be as healthy as a mixed breed? How many vaccines are too many? Should we rethink spaying and neutering? Is raw food really healthier than kibble, and should your dog be chewing more bones? Traveling the world and interviewing breeders, veterinarians, and leaders of the animal welfare movement, Kerasote pulls together the latest research to help us rethink the everyday choices we make forour companions. And as he did in Merle’s Door, Kerasote interweaves fascinating science with the charming stories of raising Pukka among his dog friends in their small Wyoming village.
Funny, revelatory, and full of the delights of falling in love with a dog, Pukka’s Promise will help redefine the potential of our animal partners.

Spurred to move by a housing crisis in Los Angeles, Steven, Lila, and their eight dogs - then 10, then 20, and then they lost count - bought a postage-stamp-size farm in Chimayo, New Mexico....

The Underdogs tells the story of Karen Shirk, felled at age 24 by a neuromuscular disease and facing life as a ventilator-dependent, immobile patient, who was turned down by every service dog agency in the country because she was "too disabled". Her nurse encouraged her to tone down the suicidal thoughts, find a puppy, and raise her own service dog. Karen did this, and Ben, a German shepherd, dragged her back into life.

Animals bring out the goodness, humanity, and optimism in people and speak directly to our souls. This joyous, inspiring, and entertaining Chicken Soup collection relates the unique bonds between animals and the people whose lives they've changed: such as the dolphins who helped a paralyzed woman heal when doctors offered little hope; the dog who brought life into a failing marriage; the kitten who helped a mother mourn; and the flying squirrel who taught a man the power of laughter.

Historia
Tucked away in Siberia, there are furry, four-legged creatures with wagging tails and floppy ears that are as docile and friendly as any lapdog. But, despite appearances, these are not dogs - they are foxes. They are the result of the most astonishing experiment in breeding ever undertaken - imagine speeding up thousands of years of evolution into a few decades. In 1959, biologists Dmitri Belyaev and Lyudmila Trut set out to do just that, by starting with a few dozen silver foxes from fox farms in the USSR and attempting to recreate the evolution of wolves into dogs in real time.

great information, bad sound editing
if you're concerned with your dogs health and not willing to accept "standard" veterinary practices then this is a book you need to read. luke Daniels performance was outstanding, but the sound editing was crap. when he uses a softer voice the volume drops so low you can't hear it so you're constantly having to rewind it and crank up the volume.

Very informative book for all dog lovers
What made the experience of listening to Pukka's Promise the most enjoyable?
The author interwove the story of his second dog, Pukka, with his research about the health and well being of dogs. He mostly sticks to science to explain many things associated with living with and owning dogs.
What did you like best about this story?
I am a dog trainer. I've lived with dogs my whole life and I rely on my service dog to live in a world made for able bodied people. I do my best to stay up to date on the best ways to care for my dogs. This book opened my eyes to a few new things I can do to ensure my dogs live long and healthy lives.
Any additional comments?
If you are a dog professional, a dog lover, or just someone who wants to learn more about these animals we share our lives with, read this book. I promise you will learn something.

Very Good, Although 'Less Would've Been More'
We lost two golden retrievers to cancer way too soon and before the breed's ostensible median age. We do our best to be responsible dog owners, to stay informed about canine health issues, and to try to give our dogs their best and longest lives. But, there is so much information out there that it's like drinking from a proverbial fire hose. Moreover, much of that information is conflicting, is presented in an emotionally charged and judgmental way, and is presented without much (if any) supporting evidence. So, I really appreciated the effort that the author undertook to research several key issues that affect canine longevity, address / question / challenge the various approaches to those issues, and share the results of his research in a dispassionate and seemingly even-handed manner.
That said, I would've paid more for a CliffsNotes version of this book. The various anecdotes that the author shares are charming and all, but I was ultimately just interested in his research. Also, I thought that the narrator generally did a fine job -- although when he narrated the author's quotes from the dogs, his dog voices could be really grating.

Good content, strange narration
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The content of the book was interesting- factual data about canine health issues interspersed with snippets from Pukka's real-life experiences.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Pukka's Promise?
The story about how euthanized pets are rendered and used in pet food.
Did Luke Daniels do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
He did a good job differentiating them. Too good, I guess. It seemed so patronizing to hear him try to do different accents to indicate who was speaking. He also used a lot of "little baby" voices to indicate the dogs were speaking. It was distracting. I don't have a better suggestion, but the voices were a bit over-the-top for my taste.

Not Merle’s Door
I so enjoyed Merle’s Door so I was excited to listen to this book. I understand why the author covered the killing of the abundance of dogs in the US in relation to part of the decision to get Pukka. I was not expecting the belaboring of the gruesome details of this topic. It was difficult to make it through the multiple depictions of individual dogs as they were killed.
Merle’s Door is a “go to” book when I want to listen to an enjoyable nonfiction story. Pukka’s Promise is not in that category. Once and done.

disapointing
Would you ever listen to anything by Ted Kerasote again?
probably not
Would you be willing to try another one of Luke Daniels’s performances?
no
Could you see Pukka's Promise being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
no
Any additional comments?
I thought this would have more useful information about nutrition/behavior/training/medical care for dogs and less detail about his interactions with his dog. It's very light on real info and dwells far too much on every little detail of his life with his dog. That would have made a cute and mildly interesting story if it was 30-45 minutes long but not a whole book. I gave up and never finished listening.

Ted writes another knockout!
This book is as intriguing as was Merle's Door with its enormous information as well as heartfelt sentiment for those four legged angels who cross our paths! Few books leave me in tears when I am through reading them. This one does not disappoint! I'm such a fan of this author and his dogs!

One of my Favourite Books EVER!
What made the experience of listening to Pukka's Promise the most enjoyable?
The fact that it was a mix of fact and story. (Not fiction but the story of Pukka and Ted). I learned so much from this and the way Ted bonds with the dogs in his life is pretty darned amazing, amusing and heartwarming.
Who was your favorite character and why?
All of them.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scenes where Burley is stealing the balls from Pukka, AJ and Goo!
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
That the pet care industry doesn't always have your pets best intrest in mind!
Any additional comments?
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED THIS BOOK! I RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE!

Awesome book!
I love this book. I liked how the author went back and forth with telling the story of his relationship with his dog and then giving information and scientific research regarding the heath and well being of dogs. The information about vaccines, food and what goes on in the shelters was excellent. I learned so much!
