JIM & JAMIE DUTCHER lived in a tented camp in Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains among a pack of wolves, observing and documenting rarely seen social behavior.

The Hidden Life of Wolves was published by National Geographic in 2013.

Reviews for A Friend for Lakota: The Incredible True Story of a Wolf Who Braved Bullying

Captivating, full-color photography illustrates this inspirational story of animal friendship, highly recommended for wolf aficionados of all ages. Midwest Book Review Although this is a book about studying and understanding wolf behavior, elementary schools would do well to adopt it to use as a springboard for discussions about human bullying...This book is highly recommended for early elementary classrooms.
