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

True Love
I bought this book having already read the young person's edition. And that in itself is a recommendation - the story has all the components of a love story, a thriller and elements of a training manual too. The story of Dion and Gobi is all the more remarkable because we don't tend to think of 'rough, tough extreme sportsmen' as being emotionally available to very small, very sweet dogs whilst in the middle of sporting events and yet that's how it was .. and Dion's wife, Lucja, was more than supportive. There are no 'bad guys' in this story .. it's told at a racy pace yet is very detailed and it's beautifully told .. it's a book which has gone back to my bookshelf because it's one I shall read again .. and there are only a very few that will fall into that category. Buy it for any dog lover, any animal lover, an sports enthusiast .. or buy it for yourself as I did.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Finding Gobi - my Book of the Year! Amazing story!
I received the book yesterday afternoon, and could not put it down! Finished it this morning, and I was gripped (even though I knew there was a happy outcome!) Would Gobi be snatched by the 'men in grey'? Would it all work out ok? Nail biting stuff! So happy that Gobi is finally in her foerver home in Scotand!! Phew!! A real page turner!! I love that little dog!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
