Writer of the book: "ARTHUR: THE DOG WHO CROSSED THE JUNGLE TO FIND A HOME"
This is the epic story of a man and his dog, and how they found each other.
"I never set out to have a dog, but I feel like there's a bit of Arthur in me." "Finding Arthur and bringing him home is the best thing I've ever done." When you have to run 700 kilometers through the jungles and mountains of South America, the last thing you need is a stray dog following you. But that's exactly what happened to Mikael Lindnord, captain of a Swedish adventure raid team, after he threw a meatball at a scruffy but dignified mutt. When the group left, the dog followed them. They tried to lose him, but he refused to abandon them. And Mikael soon realized that he didn't want him to do it either. Crossing rivers, fighting illness and injury, racing through some of the most difficult terrain on the planet, the team and the dog reached the finish line together, where Mikael decided he would save Arthur and do whatever it took. to take him with him to his family in Sweden.
