Summary:
"Nick Jans had lived in Alaska for nearly thirty years. But when one evening at twilight a lone black
wolf
ambled into view not far from his doorstep, Nick would finally come to know this mystical species--up close as never before. The story of a
wolf
who returned again and again to interact with the people and dogs of Juneau, living on the edges of their community, engaging in an improbable, awe-inspiring interspecies dance and bringing the wild into sharp focus. At first the people of Juneau were guarded, torn between shoot first, ask questions later instincts and curiosity. But as
Romeo
began to tag along with cross-country skiers on their daily jaunts, play fetch with local dogs, or simply lie near Nick and nap under the sun, they came to accept
Romeo
, and he them. For Nick it was about trying to understand
Romeo
, then it was about winning his trust, and ultimately it was about watching over him, for as long as he or anyone could. The tale of a creature who defied nature and thus gave humans a chance to understand it a little more"--Provided by publisher.
