Summary:

Between Dog and Wolf takes a look at how wolves and dogs are related, why they can be so hard to tell apart, and what rescue organizations need to know when they encounter a canine of unknown origins. Addams and Miller provide a book which gives animal shelter workers the necessary background on behavior traits and guidelines so that decisions can be based on the behavior of the animals in front of them, rather than on a questionable label that merely refers to their supposed ancestry. This book gives shelters tools to make humane decisions about animals turned in as wolf/dog hybrids.
