      Absolutely , this is kinda how I got my Cat. My family and I love animals but my youngest Son would bring home every one of them he sees that doesn't have a home and that didn't change after he grew up . We started rescue after he found a tiny kitten that was being chased by a pit bull and had already ran off the mother cat. He waited to see if she came back but after a couple of days , he brought him to the house , he works out of town , she Mom to the rescue and that was how We got Ricky and that started it all. We rescue kittens and cats that r let alone r have lived outside with no one looking after them. One day I got a call about a newborn kitten someone found and even though I had never raised a newborn , I said Yes , I had to r he wouldn't make it but I was still afraid he wouldn't. I watched a bunch of videos by the Kitten Lady and now he's 3 and I do completely adore him and he's a big beautiful Fluffy Darling I couldn't live without , that's just the cat distribution system at work lol

      @counterculture10 6 месяцев назад +23

      Yes, I agree. I think it also goes to show that this kind of magic in life can happen anywhere, anytime...you just have to be ready for it with the right mindset. It would have been so easy for Leonard to ignore the dog and push on, focusing on the race. Yet something in him sensed that what was happening with the dog was bigger than the race. Who would've thought that in the process of running to prove that he was "good enough" to himself and his friends that he'd fall in love with a stray dog in a desert in China, and that this happenstance would not only change his life but allow him to reconcile his past? An absolutely amazing story!

    You both needed that one true friendship of unconditional love and trust.
    This is one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever heard. However, I’m a total dog lover, so that makes it tops.

    It should be noted, that the "friend" who was looking after Gobi and lost her, did not actually give a full explanation on exactly what happened. Effectively, the "friend" avoided anything to do with it after Gobi was "run off". In other words, the circumstances why Gobi was missing, was also suspicious.

    • @Crazypig2160
      @Crazypig2160 3 месяца назад

      The person was probably just being unhelpful. For Gobi to travel internationally, a lot had to be done, vaccination, bloodwork and paperwork. They didn’t want to go through it and neither did they want to keep the dog. So missing was probably the easiest option.

      So thankful Gobi was
      not eaten. I believe I heard the Chinese people eat dogs and cats. So sad
      I hope it is not so.😢😮😮😮

    I knew of this story but not in this detail. What a wonderful story. Also read one about a dog who followed a team of ultra racers who had to make a similar decision to pick up a trailing dog or win their race. They went back for the dog and ultimately took her home. Love the hearts of these kind souls. Tail wags!!!!!

    Something similar has happened to me in Mexico. I was adopted by a pit with paralized legs (abandoned in an irrigation channel) and another one with muscle atrophy who welcomed me when no one knew me. The latter is fully recovered but still dealing with scabies.

    I’m surprised she could run 100 miles and not have bloody paws. I’m dog crazy, and Gobi is just the kind of dog I’d pick. Beautiful story. Welcome to the good life! 🎉🎉🎉💜😽🐾

    • @qdllc
      @qdllc 6 месяцев назад +3

      Running on pavement = bloody paws. Running on trails…not so much. Also, if the dog spent enough time running about on rough surfaces, the pads would toughen just as your feet would develop callouses.

      ​@NotoriousJeffy I believe the Mark Walberg movie is based on a similar story but not this one. It was a dog who found Mikael Lindnord during an adventure race in Ecuador. Sadly that dog got spine cancer and has passed 😔 Gobi has been made into a cartoon movie "Gobi: A Little Dog with a Big Heart" ❤
