About this ebook
The uplifting true story of an extreme athlete, a stray dog, and how they found each other. “Heroic and heartwarming” (Forbes), this unbelievable adventure will make readers laugh, gasp, cry, and see rescue dogs with a whole new perspective.
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MARK WAHLBERG—STREAMING ON NETFLIX
When you're racing 435 miles through the jungles and mountains of South America, the last thing you need is a stray dog tagging along. But that's exactly what happened to Mikael Lindnord, captain of a Swedish adventure racing team, when he threw a scruffy but dignified mongrel a meatball one afternoon.
When the team left the next day, the dog followed. Try as they might, they couldn't lose him—and soon Mikael realized that he didn't want to. Crossing rivers, battling illness and injury, and struggling through some of the toughest terrain on the planet, the team and the dog walked, kayaked, cycled, and climbed together toward the finish line, where Mikael decided he would save the dog, now named Arthur, and bring him back to his family in Sweden, whatever it took. Illustrated with candid photographs, Arthur provides a testament to the amazing bond between dogs and people.

I'm not an avid reader. Heck I'm not a reader at all. I seen a video clip on YouTube and had to read this book. I'm so glad I did. It kept my attention and had a happy ending for Aurthor. It warms my heart!

I read this book after seeing the movie "Arthur The King" with Mark Wahlberg. Loved both, even though they were very different from each other. Great story and amazing people and dog!!
