Join author Dion Leonard for a captivating event as he presents the main edition of his New York Times bestselling book, Finding Gobi. This inspiring, true story chronicles Dion’s journey during a grueling 155-mile ultra-marathon across the Gobi Desert in China, where he met a small stray dog named Gobi. What started as a chance encounter quickly turned into a life-changing bond, as Gobi became Dion's steadfast companion, matching his stride every step of the way to the finish line.


When the race ended, Gobi went missing, sparking a nationwide search to reunite the two. This incredible story of determination, love, and loyalty is sure to captivate readers of all ages and is perfect for animal lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.


At this special library event, Dion will share the unforgettable tale of his and Gobi’s journey, the search to bring Gobi home, and the deep bond they share. Finding Gobi is a truly moving story that will inspire anyone who has ever loved an animal or pursued a dream.


Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Dion and Gobi, hear their story firsthand, and be inspired by their remarkable adventure.
