THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S TOP-SELLING DOCUMENTARY! Two heart-warming, extraordinary experiences on one disc!For centuries, wolves have been characterized as bloodthirsty beasts, tormentors of ranchers and the bane of helples... more »s livestock. Determined to overcome this misconception, filmmakers Jamie and Jim Dutcher - creators of the Emmy-winning Wolves at Our Door - spent six years in a tented camp in the wilderness of Idaho, living with a pack of wolves, listening to them and earning their trust.Living With WolvesJoin the Dutchers as they share their extraordinary experiences living with the Sawtooth Wolf Pack in this Emmy-nominated film. Exclusive footage reveals the innermost details of life in the pack - its unique social structure, how wolf cubs are raised within the group and how these powerful creatures interact with man. Overcoming forest fires, marauding mountain lions and sub-zero winters, the Dutchers and these elusive, intelligent animals share the heartwarming and unique partnership of human and predator.Wolves at Our DoorWinner of 2 Emmy Awards. This heartwarming tale follows Jim and Jamie Dutcher as they raise a pack of gray wolves and document these affectionate creatures' most intimate behaviors. By bottle-feeding them as puppies and being a constant presence in their lives, the Dutchers gained unprecedented acceptance into the world of these great canines. The wolves' reputation as savage beasts proves to be unfounded. And the Dutchers' closeness to this pack allows you to see intimate scenes of the wolves playing, courting and caring for their young.« less

This DVD has stunning pictures of wolves in their natural habitat. You truly do feel like you are right there with them. There is also a lot of information about the social interactions between wolves in the wild. Very interesting and a great video for the whole family.

"I've always loved animals. As a "dog person", wolves have always been close to my heart. I've admired their intelligence, free spirit, family bonds and the fact that they mate for life. I've read books about them and watched many documentaries. This film has truly touched my soul. It is an intimate portrait and allows you to peek into their daily life and witness the true nature of this amazing animal. The second video (Wolves at our door) in this DVD set is basically a form of cliff notes, but I didn't mind watching both over and over again ;)
I wholeheartedly recommend this DVD. It is the most beautiful documentary I've seen thus far. It will steal your heart :)

"I purchase this for my Father, for his Birthday. When I told Mom I was sending it, she said he already had it and they's watched it a few times...they really enjoyed it! My Dad has a real love and sense of connection to wolves.
So, darn, I had to keep it (rather than return it). It is wonderful, amazing and wonderful. Good for all ages."
Awesome!!!

"I thought this was amazing... saw it on discovery channel and had to order it. One of the best documentaries I have seen. Jim and Jamie are awesome people. A real tear jerker for animal lovers or at least I thought, but then again it was hard for me to watch King Kong. So highly recomended."
Awesome
