About this listen
Like A Street Cat Named Bob before it, Finding Gobi is a truly heart-warming story for animal lovers worldwide….
In 2016, Dion Leonard, a seasoned ultramarathon runner, unexpectedly stumbled across a little stray dog while competing in a gruelling 155-mil e race across the Gobi Desert. The lovable pup, who earned the name 'Gobi', proved that what she lacked in size, she more than made up for in heart, as she went step for step with Dion over the treacherous Tian Shan Mountains, managing to keep pace with him for nearly 80 miles.
As Dion witnessed the incredible determination of this small animal, he felt something change within himself. In the past he had always focused on winning and being the best, but his goal now was simply to make sure that his new friend was safe, nourished and hydrated. Although Dion did not finish first, he felt he had won something far greater and promised to bring Gobi back to the UK for good to become a new addition to his family. This was the start of a journey neither of them would ever forget with a roller coaster ride of drama, grief, heartbreak, joy and love that changed their lives forever.
Finding Gobi is the ultimate story of hope, of resilience and of friendship, proving once again, that dogs really are 'man's best friend.'

What a heartwarming Story.
Genuine Feel-Good Stuff. The Mystique and Power of the Pooch never ceases to amaze me.
They know more and will give more than most humans.
A great story. Easy to listen to and a happy ending. What more can anyone ask for. Well done Dion and his team to get Gobi 'Home' ..

Love running. Love dogs. Love this book.
Where does Finding Gobi rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best. The narrator was well selected. Having seen (heard) Dion on a number of occasions, after the initial realisation, you quickly forget it is not Dion narrating.
What other book might you compare Finding Gobi to, and why?
Finding Gobi is a good story adventure journey book. Up there with Long Way Round. Well written, well structured.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The scene where Dion first carries Gobi over the river. That's where the bond was cemented.
