Following Atticus by Tom Ryan

Subtitle: Forty-eight high peaks, one little dog, and an extraordinary friendship -- Wow!  That was the first word that came to mind when I finished this book.  Ryan took in this dog and started an adventure in that really had no plan, it just evolved over time.  He was not a hiker, he was a writer.  Where Atticus took him was a place that he had never imagined.  The people that he met, that helped him along the way and showed him how to appreciate life, was over flowing.  You have to read this book.  Atticus will melt your heart and Tom will light a fire in you to make you want to get out there and experience life.  A wonderful, wonderful book!
