This book made me better aware of the differences from the two most widely practiced religions: Christianity and Islam. To be able to understand the whole story is always better to have knowledge about both sides, their struggles, traditions, beliefs and of course religious background. It's a good idea to read these kinds of books, especially when too much of any of the beliefs, and traditions are getting over the common sense in life.

Loved the story about Gobi. Dion comes off as an egotistical, entitled dude and I really am not a fan.

I didn't expect to like this book. I read it for a book club and was pleasantly surprised to find myself staying up to read just a bit more. It was light-hearted but not cheesy. I enjoyed that it was more about the journey of the author than about the little dog.

This is the Trempealeau County Reads title for the year. I enjoyed this story of Gobi choosing Dion in the race in China and the search for her when she goes missing. Searching in China for a dog involves language, political and emotional support for Dion in ways I hadn't thought of. She captured my heart. Too bad the Coronavirus may prevent any of the planned events surrounding this.
