Beautifully written. Candid. A sobering look at the marginalization of an individual, as experienced by a businessman who folded his successful newspaper during the last recession.
Anyone feeling the pinch in this latest recession will be buoyed by this read. There is life after loss.

Description
This is the story of Barry and Lupus. Barry, an exhausted newspaper owner physically and economically on the ropes, meets Lupus, a wolf-German Shepherd cross, at an animal shelter. Despite a nagging belief that he cannot take responsibility for anything or anyone else, Barry rescues Lupus and takes him home.
Every Wolf’s Howl recounts their incredible three-year journey together, back and forth across the country, enduring poverty, heartache, and illness. Beginning at the tail end of Barry and Lupus’s story and looping back in time, this memoir presents a moving portrait of economic struggle and an intimate glimpse into an extraordinary friendship. Lupus’s inner wolf never completely submits to domestication: he heels only when he chooses to. Barry witnesses something determinedly natural, untamed, and fierce within Lupus. Something admirable. Something he can learn from.

Editorial Review
"Every Wolf's Howl is more than the story of a man and his dog; it is a poignant, exuberant, exhilerating journey from failure to freedom, one that celebrates the human need for wildness and the courage to live an authentic life." —Merilyn Simonds
