Oh how I love an inspirational story with animals! Gobi is unforgettably charming, and this story is heartwarming!
Finding Gobi: The true story of a little dog and an incredible journey by Dion Leonard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 beautiful, determined stars to Finding Gobi! ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
In 2016, Dion Leonard was participating in a race across the Gobi Desert, over 155 miles in fact, when he found a stray dog who kept up with him step for step, over 80 miles. That alone had me in tears just thinking about the determination of the dog to keep up with a human with whom she had quickly bonded.
Later, it was Leonardโs determination to reunite with Gobi that made my heart ache and flutter. A story of love between humans and dogs, and filled with hope and strength, Finding Gobi is a must-read for any animal lover.
Thank you to Dion Leonard, Thomas Nelson/Harper Collins, and Netgalley for the ARC. Finding Gobi is available now!

I have to read it! I’ll let her know too. I have one to read for Edelweiss first (which I’m late on and hope to get through all these books I’m reading with the kids) and back on schedule eventually. I hope work settles down for you. I think you’ll love having a blog! I’m just so excited! ๐๐๐๐
