An Ultra Marathon Runner And Stray Dog Fell In Love

The story of Dion and Gobi revolves around an extraordinary friendship between an ultra-marathon runner, Dion Leonard, and a small stray dog he later named Gobi. During a 155-mile race across the Gobi Desert in China in 2016, a tiny dog started following Dion, staying by his side for over 77 miles through difficult terrain and extreme weather. Touched by Gobi's loyalty, Dion decided to adopt her. However, the journey wasn’t straightforward—Gobi went missing in a Chinese city shortly after the race.
