About this product

Product Information

The New York Times bestselling true story of an Australian ultramarathon runner and a little dog who formed an unbreakable bond in the middle of the Gobi desert. Finding Gobi is the miraculous tale of Dion Leonard, a seasoned ultramarathon runner who crosses paths with a stray dog while competing in a 155-mile race through the Gobi Desert in China. The lovable pup, who would later earn the name Gobi, went step for step with Dion over the Tian Shan Mountains and across massive sand dunes, keeping pace with him for 77 miles. As Dion witnessed the incredible determination and heart of this small animal, he found his own heart undergoing a change as well. Whereas in the past these races were all about winning and being the best, his goal now was to make sure he and Gobi's friendship continued well after the finish line, and he undertook another difficult journey to bring Gobi home to Scotland. However, before he could take her home, Gobi went missing in the sprawling Chinese city where she was being kept. Dion, with the help of strangers and a viral outpouring of assistance on the internet, set out to track her down, and reunite with the dog that changed his life. Finding Gobi: Proves that miracles are possible--anywhere and at any time Gives vivid details of an ultra-marathon and what it's like to run one of the toughest races on the planet Connects to that special bond that humankind has with dogs and what it can open up in our hearts Read this inspiring story and discover how miracles truly are possible--and find your own heart changing as well.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
I love everything about this story! I stumbled on it watching animal rescue videos.......since then, I've watched every single interview they gave 4 or 5 times in Italy, UK, USA, Austrailia, internet podcasts, Scotland, and I'm sure other places. I love this little dog and I couldn't be happier that she was truly rescued from being a stray in China to living the good life. At one point she was lost after Dion (the marathon runner who rescued her & author of this book) went back home while the quarantine process began. I felt how devastated he must have been. There was no doubt in my mind or anyone's, I'm sure, that Gobi was not going to just sit around waiting for her human. No. She did the same thing for him that he did for her.......she set out to find the love of her life. Her soulmate and savior. He must be lost so that precious little baby set out in a city of over 3 million people and probably just as many dogs. My heart broke. I better not say anymore. I've only said as much as Dion has in his interviews so I'll stop. Please read this book! There are so many elements. This is not a 1 in a million wonderful rescue stories. If people could realize that most pets that are rescues turn out to be PHENOMENAL PETS!!! Maybe because they are so grateful, I don't know, but it's true.Read full review

I like dogs, and I think the story is an easy read and yet, I was looking forward every evening for the next few pages. Exiting story, very nice. I will give the book to a school now that I'm finished reading.
