| A rare sight: Atticus following Tom. (We do this when breaking trail.) |
Myrna Milani is a vet, blogger, and author who reviewed Following Atticus. The entire review can be read here. Here's but one paragraph of the review.
"But if the human and canine relationship with the mountains sometimes seemed more like the dance between prey and predator, Ryan’s and Atticus’ relationship with each other is more like a game of physical and mental developmental leapfrog, with each of them raising the bar for the other like two kids playing “I double-dog dare ya!” In fact, some of their heart-stopping, laugh-generating, what-were-you-two-thinking (!) escapades so reminded me of the behavior common to younger male mammals of all species that I’d forget that they weren’t members of the same one. I think Ryan would have made a hell of a dog and Atticus would have made a hell of a human. But the human-canine unit they form together is better still."

Excellent article the dog will always be man's best friend, always accompanies and cares.
