About this listen
A middle-aged, overweight, and acrophobic newspaper editor Tom Ryan and a little dog, Atticus M. Finch, are an unlikely pair of mountaineers, but after a close friend dies of cancer, the two pay tribute to her by attempting to climb all forty-eight of New Hampshire's four-thousand-foot peaks twice in one winter. Tom and Atticus set out on an adventure of a lifetime that takes them across hundreds of miles and deep into an enchanting but dangerous winter wonderland. Little did they know that their most difficult test would lie ahead, after they returned home....
Following Atticus is ultimately a story of transformation: how a five-pound puppy pierced the heart of a tough-as-nails newspaperman, opening his eyes to the world's beauty and its possibilities. An unforgettable saga of adventure, friendship, and the unlikeliest of family, it's an inspiring tale of finding love and discovering your true self.

A fabulous account of the beautiful relationship between a man and his dog.
Miniature Schnauzers are my favourite breed of dog. I’ve had two well into their teens. As a vet I see many more. They are magnificent. I have also hiked all my life. So this book brings together so much and then magnifies it all. I loved it and will likely listen to it again a few more times.

A heart filled read
Tears and laughter as I read this book. I have a schnauzer and I also hike so I enjoyed this lovely book. But the main importance of this book was the love that Atticus and Tom shared. Also the trials that went through that made them stronger.
