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. (

Finding Gobi is the story about how ultra-marathon runner, Dion Leonard, met a stray dog while competing on a race through China's Gobi Desert. The pup won the hearts of everyone who was part of the race, participants and staff alike. Dion knew he couldn't leave her behind - he somehow had to find a way to take her home with him to Scotland.

This story was so heartwarming. Gobi is an amazing dog. She completed the equivalent of two marathons as she ran to keep up with Dion during the race. She's lucky everyone involved had a kind heart. It's amazing how many people volunteered to help get this little dog to her new home, even when it looked like she might not make it. The story helped restore a little of my faith in humanity. (

This is quite an amazing true story. It is one of those feel good stories. It is told honestly and straightforwardly. I really like Dion Leonard and also learned a lot about the how and really the WHY someone runs in these long distance brutal races through deserts etc. Then to hear how Gobi just attaches himself to Dion and how Dion takes in this little dog with the big heart. Next the battle to help Gobi come to live with Dion in Scotland. A great read.!!! (
