In Be Wolf: A True Account of the Survival of Reinhold Kaletsch, novelist and editor Wayne Tefs delivers a thrilling novel based on a real-life experience.

Whenever possible, Reinhold Kaletsch, a German doctor and inventor with a passion for the Canadian Shield, escapes to his farm in northern Manitoba, relishing its severe beauty. Kaletsch has a taste for adventure, fulfilling his creed: a life without risks is one not worth living.

One spring, Kaletsch sets out on a month-long camping trip accompanied solely by his two dogs, Blondie and Simba. But a moment of carelessness leads to a serious accident that thrusts the trio into a deadly situation. With debilitating injuries, including a fractured spine, Kaletsch must rely on his intelligence, his knowledge of bushcraft, his medical training, and his devoted canine companions, in a desperate struggle for survival.

Be Wolf is "docu-fiction"; a gripping and heart-wrenching tale of courage, endurance, perseverance, loyalty, and love set in the wilderness of northern Manitoba.
