Summary: Exquisite Visual Account of the Bond between Wolf & Man!
Review: Filmmakers Jim & Jamie Dutcher embark on a 6-year journey which takes them from the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho to the native lands of the Nez Perce tribe as they raise and bond with a pack of gray wolves they raise from puppies. The Dutchers must take care not to make pets of these magical creatures, but instead to integrate them into the social hierarchy of the adult Sawtooth pack. Any ideas harbored about wolves being vicious beasts will be dispelled as you view astonishing, illuminating images of these mystical animals playing, and caring for both their pack mates and the Dutchers! Narrated by Richard Kiley, the 50 minute film produced for the Discovery Channel is heart-warming, compelling, educational, and remarkable in its ability to both affect emotions and help the viewer truly understand how these incredible animals have been misunderstood and maligned at the hands of man, and why wolves must be saved as they are an absolutely necessary piece of our ecological tapestry! The vision of Jim Dutcher sitting in the snow-laden wilderness as the alpha-male, Kamots, puts his paw respectfully into Jim's hand will take your breath away! Unparalled cinematography and beautiful music! A film to be watched again and again!

Summary: Heart-Warming and Informative
Review: I don't think any animal lover could see this documentary and not end up falling in love with these wolves. Jim Dutcher's documentation of the life of the Sawtooth pack is both delightful and heart-wrenching. This video is a must-see for anyone interested in wolves or dogs.

Summary: The only documentary to ever make me cry...
Review: I first bought this 5 or 6 years ago and after watching it once I cried the next few times I saw it. This is a MUST see for anyone who loves wolves...especially those like me who have a wolfdog. In fact both of my wolf dogs are named after the alpha and omega in the pack that served as ambassadors between humans and wolves. This video also helps the dog owner to understand the behavior of dogs in relation to discipline and pack responses. Definately worth the money...

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Wolves , prejudices trashed (by stardustraven)
Review: I've always been interested in wolves and experienced much joy when I found this beautifully photographed and very informative documentary filmed by Jim and Jamie Dutcher. The Dutchers raised a pack of captive wolves from cubs to adults. 'Wolves at our door' definitely trashes all of the prejudices about the wolf and enriches/alters our perception of them . The development/growth of a wolf is presented with insight, respect and admiration. In short this documentary shows the highly intelligent wolf in its true light. Since the wolf is a very social animal, the importance of pack life cannot be emphasized enough. Therefore we get an intimate view of the intricate, clear-cut pack rules, dynamics and life. Not to speak of the caring and warm family life in which all members of the wolf pack participate.

The trials and triumphs of this pack in particular will certainly result in much heartbreak and joy for the viewer of this excellent documentary.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Classroom Tool
Review: My 4th grade students and I adopted a wolf from the WERC organization and the Wolves of the Nez Perce. I was delighted to find a video that documented their development and let us see our wolf, Lakota, interacting with his pack and his environment. Showing this informative video really helped my students (and me) to develop a deeper affection for Lakota as we watched him fail and succeed in his everyday routine. I would highly recommend this video to adoptive wolf parents and classes. The video is very well done with tons of factual information as well as with presenting a humanistic side to the wolves so that we may develop feelings for them. This video will having you laughing, cheering, crying, and caring about the wolves. The camera work is very up close and personal, too, so that you feel you are right in the forest with the Sawtooth pack. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to learn about these amazing and beautiful animals.
