Absolut en läsvärd historia!

Boken börjar segt. Slutade läsa efter något kapitel för 5-6 år sedan och sedan blev boken ståendes i bokhyllan fram tills nu. Boken blir mer intressant ju längre in i boken man kommer. Rent logiskt förstår jag meningen med att ha en viss uppfattning om författarens uppväxt och vägen till multisportandet, för att ge läsaren en förståelse av sporten och dess tuffhet, regler osv. För mig blir boken som mest intressant när Arthur kommer in i bilden, det är trots allt anledningen till jag har köpt boken.

Andra halvan av boken är helt klart den starkaste delen av boken. Jag gillar att följa loppet, få en inblick i hur laget mötte Arthur, hur resterande delen av loppet förlöpte och hur Arthur klarade av att följa med på så tuffa premisser. Kul läsning!

Nästkommande del i äventyret är också intressant. Mediabruset, myndigheters beslut, Arthurs hälsostatus, välkomnandet till Sverige och hans nya familj. På det stora hela är boken hjärtevärmande! Jag blir genuint gripen av det starka band som man kan få mellan människa och djur.

The writing and grammar in this book was very distracting to me - either this is a poorly executed translation or just poorly edited; either way it was too distracting for me to continue.

A heartwarming story, but I felt that the pacing was just a bit too whirlwind for me to really get anything out of it. Still, it's a feel-good tale about a guy meeting a dog that changed his life. I don't think you need a lot of grand aspirations for a book along those lines.

Sometimes they find us. If you’ve ever had the honor of being found by your pup, this is a must read! What a sweet story of a dog who found his person and followed him hundreds of miles through the Ecuador, and wouldn’t give up until his person decided they belonged together.

It took a bit to get to actually seeing Arthur, but Mikael did set up to know his own background and the sport that brought him to Arthur. It also gave an amazing picture of each setting.  The way Arthur's personality was described and his manner was everything especially as a pet parent. It also did depict the hardship that animals face in other countries and my heart hurt for them. I loved how Mikael and others fought for Arthur to bring him home. A sweet and inspirational read.
