The amazing true story of a man and a little dog who formed an unbreakable bond in the middle of the Gobi desert — that changed both of their lives forever.
Finding Gobi is the miraculous tale of Dion Leonard, a seasoned ultramarathon runner who crosses paths with a stray dog while competing in a 155-mile race through the Gobi Desert in China. The lovable pup, who would later earn the name Gobi, proved that what she lacked in size, she more than made up for in heart, as she went step for step with Dion over the Tian Shan Mountains and across massive sand dunes, keeping pace with him for 77 miles.
As Dion witnessed the incredible determination and heart of this small animal, he found his own heart undergoing a change as well. Whereas in the past these races were all about winning and being the best, his goal now was to make sure his and Gobi's friendship continued well after the finish line.
However, before he could take her home, Gobi went missing in the sprawling Chinese city where she was being kept. Dion, with the help of strangers and a viral outpouring of assistance on the internet, set out to track her down, and reunite with the dog that changed his life.
Listen to this inspiring story and discover how miracles truly are possible — and find your own heart changing as well.

I read this as part of a book club. I was a little hesitant because dog books always make me cry. I have a stressful job, so I try to avoid reading book that may cause me more stress. I may have still cried reading this, but it was worth it for the happy ending! I love how the author incorporates this rescue story with his own past and how his relationships with his wife and pup have helped him face his demons.
Uplifting!

I learned about Deon and Gobi when this story first started going viral; I've supported them every since and have followed them on various social media platforms. I love hearing about Gobi and figured this book would contain little new information (to me)...I was wrong. This book has a lot of new content, so if you're new to Gobi or already a superfan, you'll enjoy this book! If you love reading animal stories, you'll love this book. If you want to read about competitive sports, you'll love this book. If you enjoy biographies, you'll enjoy this book. Bottom line: check out this book.
Simon Bubb does a fantastic job narrating. His Australian accent is enjoyable and easy for this American listener to understand.
