Following Atticus
 

I just finished this book, the author and his little dog, Atticus had a rare and close bond. And together they achieved great things. Beautiful story that touches on a relationship between man and his dog.

I’m not super emotional but I can never watch movies or read books about pets
They always die or get lost.
I tear up watching trailers for Hachi; a dogs tale :ouch: :o
I wish I could cuz animal and human relationships are awesome :)

I am the exact same way BC, so was apprehensive about reading this story. I even looked at the copyright date, fully expecting to see him lose the dog in the end. I foolishly checked out his blog after the book and yes, he did lose the dog but it wasn't in the book. And he's now telling stories about his 2 newer dogs.
I remember watching Marley and Me, along with Hachi and both movies washed my face with more tears than any other movie I've watched.:(
