EVERY WOLF'S HOWL

This is the story of a man in transition and the wolf-German Shepherd cross who served as his inspirational guide through a provocative mid-life transformation.

This is the story of Barry—an exhausted newspaper owner physically and economically on the ropes—and Lupus—a wolf-German Shepherd cross. Every Wolf's Howl recounts their incredible three-year journey together, back and forth across the country, enduring poverty, heartache, and illness.
