Updates on Takaya and other wolves in the area are regularly reported in local and national media. Coastal wolves are extremely popular, and interest in this unique wolf population continues to garner local, national, and international attention. Cheryl Alexander's writing is highly personal and evocative. It's devoid of ""dead-eyed"" academic analysis and focuses on a more popular approach to the ecology and science of Takaya's life. The book will contain approximately 100 stunning photographs that show Takaya in his natural habitat and engaging in daily activities: swimming, hunting, eating, sleeping, howling, and playing."

...Takaya's story is one of resilience, survival, and adaptability, but it's also one of beauty... - Jezebel Takaya's death should not be in vain. Rather, it should be an inflection point that triggers the end of the recreational killing of wolves in British Columbia. - National Observer


The story of Takaya and Cheryl reminds me of my long ago relationship with chimpanzee David Greybeard. It is only if you observe a complex animal over time, and with an open mind and heart that you can get a true understanding of the sentience of that animal, his or her being-ness. Cheryl exemplifies this approach - she is not afraid to become emotionally involved. And she knows how to tell a story that can be understood and enjoyed by anyone. I hope that this book will help create a better and more informed relationship between humans and wolves.- Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE; Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace ...Takaya's story is one of resilience, survival, and adaptability, but it's also one of beauty... - Jezebel Takaya's death should not be in vain.
