Product Information
THE SUNDAY TIMES NO.2 BESTSELLER Like A Streecat Named Bob before it, Finding Gobi is a truly heart-warming story for animal lovers worldwide... In 2016, Dion Leonard, a seasoned ultramarathon runner, unexpectedly stumbled across a little stray dog while competing in a gruelling 155 mile race across the Gobi Desert. The lovable pup, who earned the name 'Gobi', proved that what she lacked in size, she more than made up for in heart, as she went step for step with Dion over the treacherous Tian Shan Mountains, managing to keep pace with him for nearly 80 miles. As Dion witnessed the incredible determination of this small animal, he felt something change within himself. In the past he had always focused on winning and being the best, but his goal now was simply to make sure that his new friend was safe, nourished and hydrated. Although Dion did not finish first, he felt he had won something far greater and promised to bring Gobi back to the UK for good to become a new addition to his family. This was the start of a journey neither of them would ever forget with a roller coaster ride of drama, grief, heartbreak, joy and love that changed their lives forever. Finding Gobi is the ultimate story of hope, of resilience and of friendship, proving once again, that dogs really are 'man's best friend.'Product Identifiers

A true, gripping adventure story with an adorable hero.
I read this book in two days, it’s brilliant! The true story covers a variety of topics including the thoughts and feelings of an ultra runner and his difficult childhood. The star is, of course, the indomitable Gobi who joined the author on his run across the Gobi desert, and whose adventures and difficulties after the race keep you turning the pages. Read it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A great true story for dog lovers.
A feel good factor story of a little stray dog, and the amazing man who adopted her, not told in a sentimental way but simply told of the effort it took to rescue her and bring her to the UK from China and a happy ending to this true story - I loved this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
