Arthur

The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home

By: Mikael Lindnord

Narrated by: P.J. Ochlan

The epic true story of an extreme athlete, a stray dog, and how they found each other—now a major motion picture from Lionsgate starring Mark Walhberg and Simu Liu.

When you're racing 435 miles through the jungles and mountains of South America, the last thing you need is a stray dog tagging along. But that's exactly what happened to Mikael Lindnord, captain of a Swedish adventure racing team, when he threw a scruffy but dignified mongrel a meatball one afternoon.

When the team left the next day, the dog followed. Try as they might, they couldn't lose him—and soon Mikael realized that he didn't want to. Crossing rivers, battling illness and injury, and struggling through some of the toughest terrain on the planet, the team and the dog walked together toward the finish line, where Mikael decided he would save the dog, now named Arthur, and bring him back to his family in Sweden, whatever it took. In compelling prose, Arthur provides a testament to the amazing bond between dogs and people.

How underestimated and under appreciated some countries view dogs.

I loved the whole story. I’m glad the author was so attuned to the wonderful qualities and the deep needs of Arthur. Too few of us are willing to give dogs that opportunity to develop a deep bond with us, which benefits both dog and human.

Rescues Rock

The entire story sings to me. I followed this when it happened and ever since. I just lost my rescued buddy after 14 years and felt every emotion that was described in the book. Our trust for each other was complete. The book articulated this so much better than I ever could.
