This book is an excellent resource for my work as it gives me a much needed bridge between my main course of study, wolves, and my secondary course of study, humans.

The most incredible part of this video is seeing the trainers talking about their bonds with the animals. This video is definitely a must see for anyone interested in training animals of any kind, but specifically marine mammals. It will really help the viewer understand how special it truly is to interact with these animals daily as a profession.
