This fascinating book charts the relationship between Mark Rowlands a rootless philosopher and Brenin his well-traveled wolf. After acquiring Brenin as a cub it quickly became apparent that Brenin was never to be left alone as the consequences to Mark’s house and its contents were dire. As a result Brenin and Mark went everywhere together—from classroom lecture to Ireland England and France. More than just an exotic pet Brenin exerted an immense influence on Rowlands as both a person and strangely enough as a philosopher leading him to re-evaluate his attitude to love happiness nature and death. By turns funny (what do you do when your wolf eats your air-conditioning unit?) and poignant this life-affirming book will make you reappraise what it means to be human.
