Following Atticus: Forty-Eight High Peaks,
One Little Dog, and an Extraordinary Friendship

by Tom Ryan

Following Atticus will make you fall in love with this little dog. Tom’s life changes dramatically when he adopts a dog. The book unfolds as we learn what Tom does, how his life changes, how he grows, and how he becomes the person he always wanted to be. The antics in the town are amazing in how they show the ability of humans to react in nasty, mean, and evil ways but also reveal “a community coming together to give their total support when needed.” It’ll be hard to put this book down because you will definitely want to see what happens next.
