The uplifting true story of an extreme athlete, a stray dog, and how they found each other. “Heroic and heartwarming” (Forbes), this unbelievable adventure will make readers laugh, gasp, cry, and see rescue dogs with a whole new perspective.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MARK WAHLBERG—STREAMING ON STARZ

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

About the Author

Mikael Lindnord is the author of the books Arthur and its follow-up Rescue Dog Tales. Arthur is now a major motion picture, Arthur the King, starring Mark Wahlberg.

Arthur is a mongrel from somewhere in Ecuador. He likes meatballs, long runs with Mikael, and relaxing with his family in Sweden.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reciprocity as a theme!
    Reviewed in Canada on August 11, 2024
    I’ve recently gotten a dog myself and I wanted some insight from other folks who have experienced the inner qualities of a dog and how a canine might choose its associations. This book by its title and movie triggered my interest so I read it and also refer to it. There was a sense of an intuitive outcome that animals, dogs as one of the closest sentient beings to people can offer and express. How a dog offers gratitude from simply receiving a single meatball and the gratitude rendered was a permanent companionship. Dogs/ animals can make choices, and it all starts with feeling a sense of caring and then their reciprocity. This book offers insight for what that means as a theme.
