<br/><br/> Merle and Ted found each other in the Utah desert - Merle living wild and Ted looking for a pup to shape into a companion. But the training went both ways. Ted taught Merle how to live around wildlife, and Merle taught Ted that a dog grows intelligent when allowed to make his own decisions.
