Holy cow, we have such a similar story! I also found my dog in the streets of China. He was a stray or maybe abandoned dog who jumped on my scooter at a red light in Shanghai. He just jumped on my scooter, lied down on my feet and refused to move an inch. He looked so exhausted and miserable that I couldn't get myself to kick him away, so I took him back home. We also went through the immigration process and he is now the happiest dog ever in France ! Everyone, please adopt a stray dog and give them a second chance. They will give it back to you tenfold

What is not really gone into, in this short (but good!) video is that he had to stay in China for several months after he found Gobi due to all the problems he had to resolve to get her out of the country! He had to stay in this sad apartment and kind of sneak Gobi out for potty breaks. I can't remember, but I think he had to kind of keep Gobi hidden (?) - maybe dogs weren't allowed at the apartment or something. He really went way above and beyond to save her! 💞

After I watched several of his videos about Gobi, I bought the book from Amazon and read it in 2 or 3 days!! I was obsessed with this story. They appeared on so many interviews around the world......Italy, UK, USA, I can't even remember now all the countries that had shows they put them on. He also did follow-up videos. When he stayed over there throughout Gobi's quarantine it was crazy! He had to slip everyone money from the maids to the hotel managers to look the other way because they were not pet-friendly like we're used to here. Some of the people were very intimidating. They inspected his room, he had to be extremely careful not to make China out to be unkind or not to paint them in a negative light at all or they would have deported him without Gobi. Black cars with tinted windows would park outside and watch him. It was more than a little unnerving but thank God he and Gobi made it home. This little dog latched on to this man wholeheartedly. She was extremely independent but I believe our pets DO pick us. We will truly never know exactly why she picked this man but she clearly did! That is an excellent book. I knew when he left her that those people were not going to stop her from running away to find her human......her dad. When he did find her she had a few injuries and you just know that she had been on a mission to find her best friend. What a great story. And when he carries her across this river during his race because the current would have carried her away.......he had crossed it but she could not and she barked over & over and he went all the way back to carry her with him!!!

@@grindcoreninja6527 For me, it was when I accepted Him and I felt His presence (first time). Frankly, I wasn't expecting that, b/c I thought being "born again" was fake. "I'll just walk down the aisle (in the church) 'accept God' and never come back," that's safe, I thought. I asked my GF sitting next to me, if she was feeling the same outpouring of powerful emotion? She said "no." Years later, I prayed for financial help & one day I got the answer and was eventually free from debt. At first, I didn't realize my prayer had been answered. The second time I felt His presence was when I got baptized. I showed up at the crowded church, sat in back & thought baptism was just some routine. However, I felt the same outpouring of emotion from that time I got saved. I looked around to see if anyone else felt it - no sign. I observed God change my disaffected Catholic family - making them into believers. They changed. I almost couldn't believe it. One day at a Starbucks, a man walked up and asked if he could talk to me and my good friend, who is an atheist. The man said he and his family, were formerly lifelong hardcore atheists. He had an "epiphany" that changed his life. Sometimes God will intervene directly in your life to save you, like he did to Saul of Tarsus. I felt God telling me to "be quiet" and allow Him to work through this man. The man gave his testimony to my friend who unfortunately, rejected it. I had prayed for my friend for two years prior to that day. God answered (!), but not all will receive His calling. Hang in there - God is real. Just ask God (Jesus) to come into your life - dare Him to do so. Ask him over and over and keep an open mind. He'll do it. I pray that He comes AND you see Him and receive Him into your "blackened heart."

[@cittaromap4163]

I am speechless 😶 moved 😢 touched what an incredible act of kindness. Bless you gobi & you sir. An incredible story

[@pemtax557]

I've seen so many of the Dodo videos and like most here love them all to pieces ... however, I've never seen such a quick and deep bonding like this one. The dedication that came from this bond is just as unique and enduring as the bond itself. All anyone could possibly add would be best wishes to a long and rewarding friendship between them. Cheers!!

Humans THINK they pick and chose the dog, when it's the opposite...They really do pick and choose you! Thank you for doing all that you did to get her back.

[@jamesrossi8442]

Ok, 10:00 in the morning and I’m crying into my coffee. 77 miles? If she was with me it would be a walk in the park followed by a nap. She’s adorable. Stay well

This amn lives in uk and flys to china to find a dog that he had been with for 6 days god bless

[@hueyfreeman9297]

Dion you are the man, she knew from the minute she first met you that you were suppose to be together.

[@SoulfulAde]

Beautiful little dog. Lucky man. Was meant to be.

[@jubjub7101]

AMAZING!! Again, another case of an animal hitting the life lottery thanks to amazing people. And this great man stayed with his puppy 5 months to make sure she could travel back with him and be safe until that date arrived. Simply amazing.

[@GeneralBoboDK]

There is a special place in... - Heaven for this guy! :) Well done...

[@annebrailsford4872]

She is beautiful.

[@sunilayya8948]

Glad the dog survived in china without being eaten.

[@goldegreen]

That's kinda racist dude

My Canadian father taught English and Programming at Shanghai University, where he would comment to students he saw enjoying KFC daily "as Western chicken meals go, General Tsao easily outranks Colonel Sanders. He also was coming back to live with me in Ottawa most summers, so he brought some postcards back to show his students Ottawa and Toronto Chinatowns. The puns on some of the names brought just a smile, but soon as someone spotted they were all marked "Printed In China" the real laughs began. He had also brought menus from many Canadian Chinese restaurants, which brought just disbelief with the portion sizes, the listed ingredients and titles. "They call THAT Chinese?" One year he was due back here so a family friend booked a reservation for a welcome home lunch; a new Dim Sum place. Many of us including Dad had already signed the "I am coming" poll when Colin posted a panicked update. "Oh DAMN me, as if I could forget where he's coming from, eh? He must be sick of Chinese food, what else does he like?" Dad answered with a laugh; "Hey Buddy please keep that res. I miss the hell out of Canadian Chinese food. Been 2 years without a single spare rib!" He has retired now, winters in the Philippines and 6 months + at least 1 day to keep our health care going. He was stranded for 3 years over there, after flushing the last of his pain meds after a life saving surgery on the plane not to be shot as a suspected drug dealer. He was also bummed that unlike Canada, over there liquor stores were not labeled an essential service, though he declines to ever brew over there, though he does know how after living in Jeddah.

This is one of the best stories I've ever seen. Not just on The Dodo but in general. Gobi is adorable I LOVE their dedication to one another. It is SO heartwarming and VERY touching. That greeting reminds me of our pooch 😄.

[@OriginalAcefanatic]

A match made in Heaven!

[@Angelah2528]

Now we witnessed the perseverance of an ultra marathon runner!

[@nurism.8696]

Thanks for never gave up on her.

[@craftychica8588]

This is the dog from the finding Gobi book. You should check out the book because it is good. ❤️🐶

[@jb-eq3bg]

Crafty Sisters I've read it, it was really good

[@corsehaire6228]

It's definitely in my top ten, read it three times

[@mvegas9552]

Two strong and loving friends. Best friends forever

[@jimmydeewilliams6489]

What a beautiful love story.. with a happy ending. What great love to travel so far to look for a missing pet dog. Gobi is cute and adorable and I wish them all the best for happy life

[@Yul-Uhlu]

So effing cute. Runs like a demon even though it has such short legs. So cute!!!!

[@daisycocoa2557]

Thank you for saving this dog. I had same thing happen to me 40 years ago, mom took dog back to trailer park in are where it started to follow me and dumped it back there. 40 years later I still remember the dog and regret that I didn’t demand to keep the dog as it would have had a better life with us.

[@gr8teagazr122]

Gobi actually ran away from that quarantine spot to go find him. He had obviously already fallen in love with her too. This was a match made in heaven. *sniff

[@domcagney2352]

Wow this is one of the more miraculous, incredible stories. But for whatever reason the universe put them in each others path

[@cocolitasblog179]

'Dog adopts guy ' god bless you man pure soul adopts you thanks for understanding him

[@gregbrogan9061]

Gobi is an amazingly brilliant dog to know to pick this particularly kind hearted guy... Such a sweet story. And Gobi is so cute!

[@amyparekh704]

The book of this is one of the few non fiction books I've actually really enjoyed. Such a sweet story!

[@Abyssal2808]

He actually wrote a book! I have read it over four times and I love it! Definitely worth buying the book!

[@Ginger0525]

🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊 Thank you for giving her a second chance. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@149ies]

This man was a God given savior. God bless him for going back and bringing this precious little fluff ball home to stay! Yay!!!

[@Randhir347]

Dogs are our real friends

[@OBIOsim]

Dogs have a way of finding the person who needs them the most and filling the holes in life that the person probably didn't know existed until the dog had filled them.

[@wahn10]

Humans who keep their promises to animals no matter what deserve a special place in our hearts. And the power of this dog is mighty - to draw this man all the way back to China to come find her. They were meant to be together, clearly.
