The Sierra San Pedro Mártir is Baja California's “sky island,” where an ancient forest seems to touch the stars. At last, in Graham Mackintosh, this unique, breathtaking, and alas, endangered place has its bard.
Nearer My Dog To Thee is a both charming and important page-turner of a book. When I put it down, I felt as if I had spent four glorious months in the Sierra San Pedro Mártir myself. And what an adventure it was! Shooting stars, packs of coyotes, a soaring eagle, thunderclaps and crashing trees... I learned about mushrooms and condors, stars and comets and the planet Mars, and best of all, I “met” Pedro, a rescued mutt from Rosarito, and Penny, the cute-as-a-button little coyote-chasing terrier.
This book will delight anyone who loves Baja California, its high sierra, and most of all, dogs. Graham Mackintosh shows us that, indeed, God is dog spelled backwards.
C.M. Mayo, Author of Miraculous Air Journey of a Thousand Miles through Baja California, the Other Mexico.
Graham Mackintosh has done it again! With his characteristic humor and sense of wonder still undimmed, this beloved author brings his fans another armchair adventure in Baja California. This time, Mackintosh has substituted depth for breadth, exploring multiple aspects of just one area, the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir. His enthusiastic curiosity ranges from world history to natural history, and he writes with verve about everything from surviving thunderstorms to the experience of hearing about 9/11/01 on a small radio in a remote mountain tent. But Mackintosh is at his best writing about relationships, particularly his evolving relationship with his canine companions. His honesty, his maturing spirituality, and his easy way with words all combine to make Nearer My Dog To Thee a wonderful addition to the literature of Baja California.
Judy Goldstein Botello, Author of The Other Side

I've been a fan of Graham MackIntosh since I read his "Into a Desert Place" many years ago. I too have spent much time in Baja California. I've personally had lots of adventures and have lived others vicariously through Graham. I especially felt a kinship in this newest book "Nearer My Dog to Thee" as I lived on a sand spit for nearly 5 years with only my good `ol German Shorthair Pointer for companionship.As a travel book I found that I enjoyed the history of the Spanish Conquistadores and Missionaries he wove into the telling as interesting as the rangers and their families that were of the present moment. I always found that Mexico is a country that embraces its past and respects those that came before.
Being alone with a dog in the Baja for a long period of time is a special episode in the life of anyone who has done this. The bond of the two species borders on the divine - a dog is a delightful creature that can only be fully appreciated when you connect away from the throng of civilization.
I enjoyed this book immensely and would recommend it to anyone who wants to escape to a simpler life - at least for a few hours.....bg

Fantastic Book! I have read all of Graham's books and they are all Great, Read them all.
Makes you want to run to airport & head to Baja.
A magical mystery tour to an island in the sky.
Great narrative. You'll enjoy it!
I have spent a lot of time in southern baja and never had an idea there was anything like the sky island here!
A great read
Have met this author and he is obsessed with Baja. He has authored several other books and they are all a "good read". Regardless of your age you should enjoy his journeys and his companions. There are manny good lessons to be learned from Graham Mackintosh in this very rugged and beautiful area comprising Baja California. He poses many questions and has many answers. We treasure his books.
It took me a while to physically recover from my last adventure with Mackintosh after he drug me along his 3000 mile Baja hike one page at a time. A more sedentary, but better equipped, Macintosh shares his four months in the remote mountains of the Baja with his two Mexican stray dogs leaving me as camp battered as his cooking pot.
Penny & Pedro steal the show and his heart as daytrippers trickle by his camp, some seeking recluse and nirvana, others just looking for a bathroom.
Adventure is as close as his campfire, where he holds nightly court for his two and four legged guests - some invited, some not. Macintosh scores again.
