This introduction to wolves and wild dogs offers young readers an insight into the stealthy world of these highly intelligent hunters. The text and illustrations show wolves and wild dogs hunting in North America, golden jackals scavenging on rubbish in southern Europe, dingos roaming the Australian outback and African wild dogs tirelessly tracking their pray across the Savanna.
