Let's talk books!

There's nothing I love more than getting lost in a good story.

With every media outlet giving us constant crisis updates, it's nice to turn it all off now and again and escape into a story.

In the spirit of all things happy and uplifting, I thought I'd share one of my favorite books, Finding Gobi, with you.

I picked up this book a few summers ago and read it cover to cover in a week. It's the true story about an ultra-marathon runner named, Dion Leonard crosses paths with a determined little stray dog while competing in a 155-mile race though the Gobi Desert.

Much to Dion's surprise the little dog, who he went on to name Gobi, decided to start running with him one day all of her own accord, and kept up with him across the tough desert terrain for about 80 miles.

Not to fear this little dog comes out with a happy ending, but not before a few adventures, and an international community of people who help her along the journey to her new home to the UK.

A must read for all the animal lovers out there, and for those who appreciate a good story about the best of the human spirit :)
