DOG MAN: AN UNCOMMON LIFE ON A FARAWAY MOUNTAIN
by Martha Sherrill
How one man's consuming passion for dogs saved the legendary Akita breed from extinction and led him to a difficult, more soulful way of life in the wilds of Japan's remote snow country.

After the Japanese surrender in 1945, there were only sixteen Akita dogs left in the country. The magnificent and fiercely loyal Japanese hunting dogs had been donated to help in the war effort, or had been eaten, their pelts used by the military to line the winter coats of soldiers.

At ninety-four years old, Morie still raises and trains the Akita dogs that have come to symbolize his life.
