Arthur is a mongrel from somewhere in Ecuador. He likes meatballs, long runs with Mikael, and relaxing with his family in Sweden.
"A miraculous tale"
--Washington Post "An incredible journey"
--Daily Telegraph "Like all great tales, this one had an intriguing
start: a small good deed with enormous consequences for the dog and
his rescuers, the basis for a heroic and heartwarming story."
--Forbes "Swedish adventure racer Lindnord shares the moving story
of how a stray dog changed the course of a race through South
America, and also changed Lindnord's life. ... The story of the
race will appeal to readers interested in endurance, while the
story about the powerful connection that can develop between people
and dogs will find a broader readership among dog lovers."
--Publishers Weekly "More Kleenex needed! This is the tale of a
Swedish adventure racing team who found (very unexpectedly) a stray
dog ... This incredible story follows the dog's determination to
stick with the humans he met through raging rivers, illness, injury
and some of the most difficult terrain on the planet. Ideal for
people who love adventure and dog stories."
--PAWSH Magazine "He is only one dog, but Arthur has proven what it
means to survive and not ever give up. He is the elite athlete of
this story, and deserves every possible accolade."
--Books for Animal Lovers
