She gave me a cold hard stare and then laid her ears back. I could actually see the hair rise up on the back of her neck just before she put her head down and charged. Barely into my second month as a Baxter State Park ranger and a big animal was angry and running straight at me. She could kill me or cause serious injury with one flail of her hooves. This was surreal. I was a ranger, for Pete's sake. How was I going to explain this in my weekly report? The Bear Dogs of Katahdin is Steve Tetreault s true account of his time spent as a ranger in Maine s Baxter State Park, a wilderness area of over 204,000 acres. In this collection of anecdotal stories, Steve describes his life as a new ranger in a strange place, meeting new people--and learning about his wild neighbors. If you are a lover of the outdoors in general, or perhaps Maine and Baxter State Park in particular, you will appreciate Steve s depiction of a park ranger s life from the point of view of a young and idealistic person.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Us","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611816181911,"sku":"9781425796501","price":1571.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781425796501.webp?v=1775073086","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-bear-dogs-of-katahdin-and-other-recollections-of-a-baxter-state-park-ranger-9781425796501","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
