Arthur and Friends

Three years ago, Mikael Lindnord met a scruffy, plucky stray dog on an adventure race in Ecuador. Despite illness and injury the dog followed Mikael for hundreds of miles, and eventually Mikael took him home to Sweden to be part of the family. He named him Arthur.
Arthur and Friends is the story of what happened next, from Arthur's first Christmas, to book tours to London and around Europe, to a terrifying bout of illness and new races and adventures. Interspersed with this are heart-warming readers' stories of their own rescue dogs, from Afghanistan to Australia, and everywhere in between.
Uplifting, gripping and moving in equal measure, Arthur and Friends is the inspirational story of how a little kindness can go a very, very long way.
