![]() ![]() I will warn you, it is an easy read, but so what! I would rate it 5/5 stars. I would recommend this book to everyone I know. It is also funny, as when he realizes the “undercover government agents” were really just a few friends trying to protect him. It is intense, as when Dion sneaks Gobi into a hotel when he thinks they are being followed by undercover government agents. I loved every minute of it, and was surprised and happy when I found out it was true! It gave me a sense of hope in the world, and proved the statement that a dog is a man’s best friend. In 2016, Dion Leonard, an ultramarathon runner, stumbled across a little stray dog while competing in a gruelling 155 mile race across the Gobi Desert. ![]() Dion sets up a huge search team, and they all work on finding Gobi. He leaves Gobi with a friend in China, where the race took place, and goes home to start working on getting the dog. ![]() One, he can’t take the dog to a different country with him, for safety reasons. Gobi is a small, female Chihuahua mix that began following ultra marathon runner Dion Leonard at the beginning of Stage II of the Gobi Desert Run in China in June 2016. He and Dion form a special bond, and the dog runs, sleeps, and eats with the man for the entire duration of the race. When the race is over, after days and days of hard work and bonding with Gobi, Dion calls his wife and together they agree that they can take Gobi home. The dog is at the start of a long race that’s about to be run by hundreds of runners. Finding Gobi, by Dion Leonard, is the nonfiction story of a small dog! It was very good, and began introducing us to the two main characters: a small, yellow dog, later to be named Gobi, and a man in a yellow running suit named Dion Leonard. ![]()
