Following Atticus (full name: Following Atticus: Forty-Eight High Peaks, One Little Dog, and an Extraordinary Friendship), written by Thomas F. Ryan, is a 2012 book about a newspaper reporter (Ryan) and his relationship with his two dogs.[1] The story is based in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, particularly the Four-thousand footers.
Boston Daily praised it for its lack of treacly sentiment and recommended it to dog lovers.[2] Kirkus Reviews called it "lyrical" and mentioned the book's "immense pathos".[3] However, the blog Cairn's of Life was less enthusiastic, accusing Ryan of abusing his dog through taking his pet on so many walks.[4]
