Customer Reviews

If you love dogs, this book is worth a read!

This book is a great read about how even the smallest person (or dog) can overcome incredible obstacles. If you’ve ever had a mini schnauzer, Ryan’s book really does get it right, and you absolutely find yourself rooting for Tom and Atticus and they take on the 4,000 foot peaks. The only reason I took off a star is because some parts of the book lacked closure. No spoilers, but some portions made you wish they’d turned out differently. Overall, though, if you’re looking for a happy dog book (but beware the first chapter), this is for you!
