Running with Wolves: Our Story of Life with the Sawtooth Pack
NOTE Jim and Jamie Dutcher grew up in different places but they both loved exploring the great outdoors They had a passion for observing wildlife that continues to this day Along with that passion comes immense respect for wild animals and for their wildness If you see a wild animal be respectful just like Jim and Jamie Observe the animal from a safe distance and don’t disturb it Let it be wild In this memoir Jim and Jamie each tell different parts of their adventures with wolves Jim tells much of the first half because Jamie didn’t join the wolf project until its third year Yet she was always very much a part of it Long before she arrived at wolf camp Jamie helped keep the project on a steady course through advice and encouragement offered in letters and phone conversations Many of these communications are recalled in this story
For our grandchildren Arianna Sofia Natalie Sebastian and Emiko our nephew Sam Henry and our niece Madeline And for young people everywhere may you always follow your dreams Together we can make a difference for the natural world Jim and Jamie Dutcher
