5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite Visual Account of the Bond between Wolf & Man!, December 25, 1999

This review is from: Wolves at Our Door [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't realize wolves were so friendly, October 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Wolves at our Door (DVD)

When I saw this DVD I thought the wolves were going to be locked up into small cages. But what I saw totally gave me a new reality about wolves. Of course I have seen wolf documentaries before; and have also seen them tamed. But I did not realize they would show affection and loyalty the way this film did. Definitely a must-see!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wolves at our Door, December 16, 2000

This review is from: Wolves at Our Door [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A great film, that warms the heart and shows first hand how a wolf pack functions. Of the 5 or so wolf films I have watched this is the best. Dog owners can understand abit more about their domestic pets.
