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.

slow start but wonderful story. Trying to change poor treatment of street dogs. I absolutely recommend this bok

A beautiful story of a man and the dog he saves

I watched the movie that was recently made about this, not realizing it was based on a true story. After listening to the book, I can truthfully say that the movie did not do the story justice. This is a wonderful story and any animal lover should take the time to listen to it. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will find yourself subtly saying under your breath "awww".

Great story

As an adventure racer and as an Ecuadorian, I found the story heart warming and marvelous. It shows the harsh realities of stray dogs and the different culturas and mindsets you find amongst mankind. Thank you Mikel for sharing your story.

Amazing story!

The story of Arthur is amazing!

The narrator did a great job conveying the emotion of the story.

Loved this story

Watched the movie then read the book - loved both but really enjoyed the racing background in the book as well as learning about all the trials they faced getting Arthur to Sweden and all the happenings once they got him home. Great story
