Life sometimes offers very special opportunities and experiences some too magical not to share. Thats what this book is: a wealth of stories about an incredible decade in Toni Shelbournes life. Worldwide, only a handful of people get to spend time with socialised wolves; not the wolves seen in zoos, nervously pacing or hiding in their enclosures, but wolves raised by humans. These wolves trust people, allow us to interact with them, and accept us into their world. This book tells the story of Tonis life with eleven charismatic wolves at the UK Wolf Conservation Trust, Berkshire, England. Over ten years, she handled, raised, cared for and nursed these amazing creatures, and within these pages you will come to know the characters; laugh at their sense of fun, mourn at their passing and learn to love them as she does. Describing some of the best and worst of times, discover what happened behind closed doors when the public went home, leaving just Toni and the wolves ...

About Toni Shelbourne
Toni Shelbourne has worked with dogs and wild canids for over twenty five years. A Tellington TTouch Practitioner and author of The Truth about Wolves and Dogs also published by Hubble and Hattie Toni is also an environmental educator lecturer and presenter. Tonis work as a Tellington TTouch Practitioner led her to the UK Wolf Conservation Trust where she worked with a pack of socialised wolves. For ten years she observed wolves on a daily basis progressing to become a Senior Wolf Handler and Education Officer for the organisation. Her observations helped her develop a unique insight into wolf behaviour and led her to question the ingrained ideas about the alpha theory with dogs: ideas that were often in conflict with her own observations and knowledge. The result was her first book The Truth about Wolves & Dogs. This her second book takes the reader on the very personal journey of Tonis life with the wolves.
