A review by clairegam
Following Atticus: Forty-Eight High Peaks, One Little Dog, and an Extraordinary Friendship by Tom Ryan

5.0

As a girl with a dog, (lemon and white working cocker spaniel, called Flo) who loves to walk the mountains of the Lake District, I knew I couldn't be disappointed by this book! What I didn't realise was that it would be such a beautifully written and moving account of the relationship between Tom and Atticus. It would take me on a journey of dreams, laughter, uncontrollable tears and the very special bond one can have with a dog.

In summary this book inspired me to get back out into the hills as soon and as often as I can, for, in the words of John Muir

"going to the mountains is going home"
