What are your favourite books you've read that featuring canids? (Give a brief summery of the book and if you know it the author)

lol, I haven't read many books. But if I were to pick one, it'd be . . . Narnia, I guess. Not much canidae's in it but at least it has some. Otherwise I'd have to say a dog book that has all the breeds in it and details them.

Edit: Wiat, no. I take that back; I did read a chapter or two from . . . I forgot the title but it was about some biologist studying wolves and his adventures while he did.

Well, I have read afew of the good ones. Red Fox, Vulpes the red fox, white wolf, and everyones favorite, Whitefang.

I wish I could find that Red Fox one that I had read, there are so many red fox books.

Whitefang is definately one of my favourites, its one of the originals and a great story

Another one I remember enjoting is a book by Joyce Stranger called "A Dog Called Gelert" Wisefox - you're story actually reminded me a bit of this book! It was about a boy who desperately wanted a dog but couldn't have one because he lived in a flat I think, so he creates an imaginary dog (a german shepherd) that kees him company and he takes for walks. The boy ends up being bullied, and one day when he is threatened they mock him for having an imaginary dog...when a REAL german shepherd dog appears from behind him and scares off the bullies. The dog isn't his but belongs to someone who works with the dogs in a shelter. The boy goes to work there with them and learn about the dogs, spend time with them etc but none of them are ever really his...he gets his own dog in the end though lol

I have to go with the classic- Call of the Wild. But I also loved the Sight in hundreds of ways. Wonderful book. And my third choice would be Never Cry Wolf- a book by one of the first naturalists to really look into the habits of wolves living in Canada.

TWF, you should start a book list So then you can go to the store and buy all the ones you want.

But I'm like that too, I haven't read many books but I'd like to get a lot.

well I started reading His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. It's a trilogy. I just couldn't get into it tho. But alot of people like it so I thought I'd mention it. I don't really remember much except that this girl named Lyra is trying to find her friend Roger. And there's some woman that's kidnapping children. That's all I can remember.

I loved that trilogy. Except the end of the last book, which became a love story. That bored me. But the rest was the type of story I like.

WHAT?! A LOVE STORY?! that's incredibly lame. I didn't like it just after reading 7 chapters of the first book but finding out that's how it ends is like...lame.

anyways, I was digging thru some of my old books and I found one about a dog. It's all ruined tho cuz I had it when I was like 4 years old, and from the looks of it, I liked eating books when I was 4.

So the title and everything is missing but I was able to read some of the pages. Even for a little kids book, it was very touching and emotional. I wish I knew the title and author.

I like anything having to do with sled dogs/mushing, it doesnt matter who the author is, i have a lot now and am still looking for more.

Type a sentence or two into a search engine. You might turn something up.

I just checked out White Fang from the school libary so I'll be reading that now. I'll let you know what I think of it when I finish it.

My favorite is The Sight by David Clemet Davies (sp on his name?)

It is about a wolf pack and about a legend that has been passed down through generations about a white she wolf that would possess the ancientgift of the sight. This lets her see dreems, preminitions, look through other animals eyes and feel what they feel, and it also helps her to know what to do and where to find things. Now, the book goes through the wolf pack's journey as they travel to try and save the lera (I think) from destruction and things...somehow a human plays into all of this but I forget how.

If some of this is wrong, please forgive me, it has been over 2 years since I have read the book so I don't remember too terribly much.

I'm currently writing a book about a wolf pack, so that's my favorite!

XDDD

It's called Mirovi. ^^

Oh? Another writer here huh? A few of us are writing some books, you can see something about them if you just browse through this Literatur part.

I'd like to here more about your book and we got a usergroup, as it is called, where some us can talk privately about our books that we are writing.

(ie: mine is about a fox)
