This heart-warming animal story is perfect for fans of Michael Morpurgo or Sheila Burnford’s classic The Incredible Journey. After moments of real danger, and through a combination of luck, love and hard work, the two were finally reunited. It proved very difficult, especially when Gobi went missing in China, while Leonard was in Britain. By the time they finished the race, the two were inseparable, and Leonard knew that he wanted to take the little dog home to Scotland, no matter what it cost. For some reason, the two bonded and Gobi, as he called her, was soon running alongside Leonard, providing him with real encouragement and support. Leonard was competing in a gruelling race across the Gobi Desert when he came across a little stray dog. June 2017 Book of the Month | In a nutshell: inspiring true story of the love between a little dog and a long distance runnerĪ retelling of marathon runner Dion Leonard’s bestselling true story, this is the kind of book that young readers absolutely love.
