Mikael Lindnord

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER When you are racing 435 miles through the jungles and mountains of South America, the last thing you need is a stray dog tagging along. But that's exactly what happened to Mikael Lindnord, captain of a Swedish adventure racing team, when he threw a scruffy but dignified mongrel a meatball one afternoon. When they left the next day, the dog followed. Try as they might, they couldn't lose him - and soon Mikael realised that he didn't want to. Crossing rivers, battling illness and injury, and struggling through some of the toughest terrain on the planet, the team and the dog walked together towards the finish line, where Mikael decided he would save Arthur and bring him back to his family in Sweden, whatever it took.

Arthur and Friends

Det här är den fantastiska berättelsen om Arthur – gatuhunden som lämnade djungeln och hittade hem. Hem till elitidrottaren Mikael Lindnord i Örnsköldsvik. De utmattade svenska multisportarna befann sig mitt i regnskogen i Ecuador under VM. De skulle ha en kort vila innan nästa stenhårda pass tog vid – flera dagars löpning, cykling och forsränning i oländig terräng väntade härnäst. Leriga, trötta och hungriga började de tillaga sin måltid som bestod av köttbullar när landslagets ledare, Mikael Lindnord, fick syn på en tilltufsad vilsekommen hund. Han slängde åt hunden en köttbulle och tänkte inte mer på saken. Det var först senare, under det närmare 700 kilometer långa loppet, som Mikael insåg att hunden följde efter dem och gav honom namnet Arthur. Uppför höga berg, över leriga fält och simmande i iskallt vatten kämpade Arthur vid sidan av laget. Utmärglad och skadad höll han jämna steg med de topptränade atleterna och vek inte en tum från deras sida. Till slut kunde ingen längre vara oberörd – allra minst Mikael som hade fått en vän för livet. En otrolig och rörande historia om hunden som slog världen med häpnad. Om strapatser i djungeln och känsloladdade möten. Om multisportarnas tuffa tillvaro. Om kampen för att överleva och för att få ge Arthur ett nytt hem i Sverige.
