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.

“A miraculous tale.”—Washington Post

“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

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, kayaked, cycled, and climbed 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. Illustrated with candid photographs, Arthur provides a testament to the amazing bond between dogs and people.

Review

“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

Uplifting Dog Story

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2024

Verified Purchase

This book is an uplifting, feel good story based on actual events. It reads like a documentary and because it's based on a true story, the book was adapted into a big screen movie. The movie departs in several places from the book, but the departure doesn't detract from the actual story. If you like dog stories, this is a good read.

Great read! This is a quintessential tale of the dog choosing their person. Story is weaved together well and illustrates how many specific factors had to unfold, as well as the timing of each of them, so that Arthur and Mikael would find each other. DOG works in mysterious ways...

I saw the movie & I wanted to know the true story which was even sweeter than the movie. He did a great job of describing the love and devotion he had with Arthur. I highly recommend this book.

Timeless Story

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2024

Verified Purchase

It's a beautiful story of perseverance. Some of the strongest bonds are forged during difficult times.
Arthur had a wound on his back, which was infected and his mouth was in terrible shape. Both needed medical attention. No way of knowing, if Arthur would have been left behind, if he would have received the needed care or if his injuries would have led to his death. Considering that both of his injuries had not been cared for. I doubt he would have received the proper care, if left behind, by Mr. Lindnord.
A beautiful story of two lives which met by chance. Then bonded during a difficult race and never parted.

Read with tissues at hand. Arthur’s story is wonderful but the love between him and his companion made me cry at times.

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024

In reading about Arthur and his actions, reactions and demeanor, it seemed to me almost spiritual. How he chose Michael and all that he did appeared to have a divine-like purpose. I want to meet him in heaven. The book was so well written as you get to know Arthur. I never met him, and now I have a deep sense of missing him. He's that special.

Heart warming

This book made my husband cry! Wonderful true story. What made it really heart felt and poignant is that Arthur passed away a year and a half away. He had a wonderful life in Sweden and his discovery and story has made people realize the plight of stray dogs. What made this story even more poignant for us is that we have a rescue dog from Mexico who looks so much like Arthur. It’s a wonderful book so buy it !

Una bellissima storia d'Amore

Reviewed in Italy on August 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

Ho letto un articolo su FB che parlava di questa stupenda amicizia ed ho voluto subito comprare il libro. Chi ama gli animali e soprattutto i cani lo deve leggere assolutamente. E' molto scorrevole e molto emozionante a tratti. Una delle cose che mi è rimasta impressa è il fatto che la vita ci mette sempre davanti chi è destinato ad entrare nella nostra vita. E' una storia che ha dell'incredibile e dimostra che l'amore può muovere le montagne e non solo.
