FOLLOWING ATTICUS: Forty-Eight High Peaks, One Little Dog, and an Extraordinary Friendship  is the story of an out-of-shape newspaperman, Tom Ryan, and Atticus M. Finch, a miniature schnauzer—an unlikely pair of mountaineers—and their record-setting winter. Deciding to pay tribute to a friend who died of cancer, they set out to climb all 48 of New Hampshire’s 4,000-foot peaks, twice, in the 90 days of winter. What awaits them is the challenge of a lifetime, set in an enchanting but dangerous winter wonderland. Their remarkable story blurs the line between two species and follows the two friends for hundreds of miles in a rare test of endurance. 

Following Atticus is an unforgettable true saga of adventure, friendship, and the unlikeliest of family, as one remarkable animal opens the eyes and heart of a tough-as-nails newspaperman to the world's beauty and its possibilities.
