A true story of acceptance, perseverance, and the possibility of love and redemption as evocative, charming, and powerful as the New York Times best seller Following Atticus.
Drawn by an online post, Tom Ryan adopted Will, a frightened, deaf, and mostly blind elderly dog, and brought him home to live with him and Atticus. The only owners Will ever knew had grown too fragile to take care of themselves or of him. Ultimately Will was left at a kill shelter in New Jersey.
Tom hoped to give Will a place to die with dignity amid the rustic beauty of the White Mountains of his New Hampshire home. But when Will bites him numerous times and acts out in violent displays, Tom realizes he is in for a challenge.
With endless patience and the kind of continued empathy Tom has nurtured in his relationship with Atticus, Will eventually begins to thrive. Soon the angry, hurt, depressed, and near-death oldster has transformed into a happy, gamboling companion with a puppy-like zest for discovery. Will perseveres for two and a half years, inspiring hundreds of thousands of Tom and Atticus' fans with his courage, resilience, and unforgettable heart.
A story of a dog and an indelible bond that is beautiful, heartbreaking, uplifting, and unforgettable, Will's Red Coat honors the promise held in every living creature, at any stage of life.

As another reviewer mentioned, it is best to read his previous book, Following Atticus, to fully enjoy this sequel. Both books are beautifully written and engaging.
One of the best

What made the experience of listening to Will's Red Coat the most enjoyable?
I am an animal lover and I have often mused at the amazing impact that especially dogs can have on our lives. This book is evidence to that. lovely story of two broken souls that came together - An elderly white Schnauzer named Will, abused and neglected, finds redemption and transforms those around him.What did you like best about this story?
The arc of Will's experience and his impact on Tom and Addicus . Will's response to music and nature (the flowers) as well as the lessons he taught so many following him on social media. Very heartwarming and tear inducing. I listened snuggled up with my two rescue pups but what I learned that made me most happy was the effect Will's story through social media had on people who opened their hearts and homes to the elderly dogs who find themselves homeless when they need a home the most. I hope this book will touch other readers to adopt elderly dogs too - this is one of the many lessons Will had to teach.What about Tom Ryan’s performance did you like?
It was him - hearing his words in his voice made them resonate. Tom's subtle and kind advocacy for the elderly (humans and dogs) was heartfelt and this came acrossIf you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Angels take all forms!Any additional comments?
Lovely true story of the transformative impact animals can have on our lives and environments and the lessons they can teach us.Transformative effect of an Elderly Dog
