Drawn by an online post Ryan, with the help of his canine hiking partner, Atticus M. Finch, adopts Will, an elderly, deaf, and nearly blind Schnauzer. He hopes to give Will a place to die with dignity, surrounded by the natural beauty of the White Mountains of his New Hampshire home. But when he witnesses Will's fear and lack of trust, Ryan utilizes endless patience and meditative empathy until Will is transformed into a happy, frolicking fellow with a puppy-like zest for discovery. Will's story honors the possibility held in all of us, at any stage of life.
