Finding Gobi (Younger Readers Edition) - The True Story of One Little Dog's Big Journey

Finding Gobi is the ultimate story of hope and friendship - proving once again, that dogs really are ''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. The pup earned the name ''Gobi'', as she went step for step with Dion, keeping pace with him for nearly 80 miles. What Gobi lacked in size, she made up for in heart. Dion had always focused on winning, but as he witnessed the incredible determination of this small animal, he felt something inside him change. This is a story of a life changing friendship between one man and a little stray dog called Gobi.
