Finding Gobi: The True Story of a Little Dog and an… door Dion Leonard
Loved the story about Gobi. Dion comes off as an egotistical, entitled dude and I really am not a fan.
Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
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.
