Rurechter treated German Shepherd Dogs *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2021* I own a German Shepherd Dog. This book contains the stories of two individual German Shepherd Dogs both owned by the Austrian Karl Rurechter.The first GSD, the Austrian used -by his own admission as reported by Yossi- as a bait in the Jungle. The GSD smelled an animal nearby while in the jungle and darted off to pursue in accordance with his game instinct. Rurechter then heard yelps and cries by the dog as well sounds by another animal, perhaps a cougar, while it was attacking the GSD. Instead of helping his GSD and scaring the predator away, Rurechter did an 180 degree about-face and calmly walked away while his GSD was being devoured. That's Strike No 1.The second GSD Rurechter purchased from some Native in a village in the Jungle intending to use it in the Jungle perhaps as bait again to dodge some situation with some wild animal. The dog he purchased though was emaciated so much so that they named her La Flacca, which means "the skinny one". The party stayed at the same village for a few days but instead of the Austrian buying some good food for La Flacca he fed her bones which shows how unintelligent he was.The book goes on in the next 20 pages to describe how the Austrian mishandled the dog; he frequently kicked her (she was a female), beat her, threw stones at her and tied a rope around her head and used the rope to drag the dog in the jungle when the dog was too weak to move on from lack of food and did not wish to go further. He also didn't feed the dog enough. Finally, the dog sat down and would not budge whereupon the Austrian left her to die in the middle of the jungle. Yep. That's Strike No 2.I like to judge people from the way they treat animals. I can tell you, and other ppl who work with animals too I guess, that any1 who tortures an intelligent animal such a GSD is Bad News with capital B. I wouldn't want to be within 100 yards of this character and if I had to interact with him I would prefer to be armed.Finally, a small fact to show his foolishness, he actually went into what was a planned 30 day trek in the jungle wearing US cowboy boots. That is, he went into this trek wearing what were in essence shoes designed to be used by horsemen and specially made for horse riding. Predictably, his boots failed within 2 weeks.Yossi's book was very disturbing to me but I'd suggest it as reading to all as a case study of human folly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The power of the will to live *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2018* Yossi and his companions were all dreamers looking for adventure in the jungle. Being young, naive and trusting they set off on a journey with a total stranger believing that he was a good man and would take care of them. Their experiences on the river and in the jungle are difficult to imagine surviving. Only their powerful will to live allowed Yossi and Kevin to survive.While their story is amazing, reading the book was at times tedious. The first half of the book is just walking, walking, walking thru the jungle. Day after day. Yossi's account of his journey alone in the jungle is difficult to see thru my eyes. Immersing myself into the story beside the lead character is what keeps me reading. I see what they see and feel what they feel. That just didn't happen for me here. I don't know if it is the style of writing or that so many important little details were left out to keep the length of the book manageable. This is an amazing story of his will to live and overcome so many obstacles, both physical and emotional, that should have killed him.I recommend this book to anyone who wants to get the real first hand account of their journey. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2022* I bought the book because I loved the movie. I was not disappointed. I eagerly awaited the Jaguar scene, but the rotten feet description in words was easier on my mind than Hollywood’s depiction. I would read it again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/119804266-jungle-movie-tie-in-edition-a-harrowing-true-story-survival](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/119804266-jungle-movie-tie-in-edition-a-harrowing-true-story-survival) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
