Well written by a man whose life was saved by the love and loyalty of a dog that gave his all in service to his owner, a disabled army veteran.  It brought tears to my eyes several times!

As a mom to a blind schnauzer I know how much these dogs can touch your heart. My Lobo and I loved kayaking together. Everywhere we went his little head poked up in front as we kayaked and camped around the area. He soothed many pains that were in my heart.

For this reason I started reading "Following Atticus." I fell in love with him as soon as the story started. Following his adventures in the book made me wish I had known him personally. Along with his special people, Tom and Paige, this is a wonderful story of love.

Everyone who loves dogs, or whose life has been changed by their love of a dog, should read this book!

This is the story of abandonment  man and dog.  Daniel and Doggo.  But surprisingly its not a sad story.  In fact it will have you smiling as you follow the tale of these two soul mates.

Daniel has the rug pulled out from under him when he reads a note from his longtime galpal Clara saying shes off for new adventures and doesnt leave a forwarding address.  Daniel is now the sole parent of Doggo who Clara adopted a short time ago and the two have not yet bonded.  Daniel has lost his job as a copywriter and now he has two goals.  To find a new job and to find a new home for Doggo.

This funny and sentimental book follows the two, man and beast, as they start a new life and learn to like what they have more than what they lost.

This is a love story, as well as a story about respect for a beloved pet.  The author is able to express her love for her dog, Bailey, who becomes more than just a pet.  The author appreciates many qualities and antics of Bailey, and that is refreshing.  Having adopted Bailey as a senior dog, all was not easy.  However, Bailey's loving personality shines through, and she was definitely worth the love and effort shown to her!  I'm guessing that the people that purchase this book will be dog lovers anyway, but I hope reading this gives some people a new perspective on the relationship they can have with their current or future furry friends.

This is a great dog story.  This dog is a hero too.  Every serviceman or servicewoman who has the honor to work with a dog during the war should be able to keep the dog when they come home.  These animals have feelings too and they belong with their original owners.  There is a special bond between them that anyone who does not love animals will never understand.

The story of a man and the dog that found him in the wilderness....and the life and lessons they shared.

Woven into the story are informational bits about the origin of domestic dogs, life lessons taught by Merle to his owner, and lots more.

Very nice book for anyone who cares about dogs.

This story has captured my heart.  Not sappy, like a lot of dog books.  Fine storytelling.  A wonderful, unexpected hero.  A man learning about himself and how he gently moves into a fulfilling new life.

I have hiked some of the 4000 footers in the White Mountains, and until you do them, you really don't realize how difficult they can be for a person, let alone a little dog.  The relationship between man and canine in this story is really heart warming and touches on some of the most basic attractions between the two species.
I had a golden retriever, my "Once in a lifetime" dog, Sam.  Everywhere I went my dog went, and the relationship I had with that dog was as close as you can be to any person.  Sam and I could look at each other and I knew and he knew when we were getting up to go somewhere, when we needed to be right by each other and when we could stray and how far away.  I think this kind of relationship is developed over the years when you are a constant companion with your buddy. Looking back at the relationship I had with Sam, it was just natural, not your typical "dog training" approach to get him to do what you want,  We spent so much time together that he could read what we were going to do and how to act doing it.  I couldn't possibly tell someone how to train their dog to do what Sam or Atticus did, because it wasn't something that I forced on him, it was my dog's understanding of what we both were doing and how to act in those situations.  If you have ever had that special, "once in a lifetime" dog, you know what I mena, you will love this story.  If anything I've written about this special dog relationship resonates with you, you pick up the book, grab the audible version and get ready for a great story.
