Running with Sherman

We found Sherman locked in a stall as dismal as a dungeon cell. We got him out and brought him home, and did our best to heal him. Here's what happened next...

Genuinely one of the best books I’ve ever read - one of my new favorites! Love to Sherman, Flower, Matilda, and the rest of the gang! ❤❤❤

One of my favorite stories.... ever!

[@aussieexpeditions7350]

Cannot say enough about this story and well written book. From the standpoint of a life long animal professional, a once upon a time runner, and a lover of the countryside and all things adventure. It checks all the boxes. Read it, listen to it… get addicted.

Omg i cant believe i found this!!! Im crying r n. I'm just nearing the end of your book running with sherman. I had a mustang quarter mare & a BEAUTIFUL donkey, miss B We went all over the foothills in little tujunga cyn together. That was 20+ years ago. Divorced now. My life is gone. I feel like a donkey is the cure but im completely alone in what feels like a no-win situation. Memories...hoofs clicking on rocks, the one time i made miss B stay home & came back to find she'd painted the corral a bright green (poop she conjured up from the depths of her gut for her message: we'll have no more of THAT!) & the times at night when id lay on her back, head on her butt, & look at the stars as she grazed. I adore donkeys. I adored the Wonderful People in your book. Im feeling very alone & your book got me through anothr day. Thank u for that...& thank you flower & sherman & matilda.

Chris born to tun got me into running, really, so when I saw this video I went out and bought the book straight away!! It’s lovely so far!!

[@jodirichard405]

My PT recommended this book to me. I am seeing her after falling and breaking my wrist in an ultramarathon in Moab two weeks ago. I read Born to Run and loved it. I was happily surprised to see it was the same author. This book hit me in so many ways I can’t even explain. Let’s just say it was a positive light during a very upsetting time in my life. I do believe I will be looking for a donkey to race with in 2022. Thank you Chris for sharing your story about Sherman. I am inspired!

This is a great story about dedication and concern for others

[@billtheleg]

[@kristinjohnson4598]

I just finished the Audible book and immediately came to KZbin to find the song and pictures of Sherman. This book really touched my heart. Thanks Chris

God Bless you and Your Family My Bro!! And the Donk Donks !! 👆👍💪🙂

[@cekfraun]

I'm reading your book and loving it! Now all I want to watch on youtube is donkey racing. 😄

[@barbaramoore7440]

My husband just bought this for me and I can hardly wait to get started. I love animal and I have a soft spot in my heart for Donkey and Mules.

[@waterbug85]

Thanks for sharing your story about saving Sherman.

[@littleo353]

Just finishing this book. It is a GREAT read. McDougall proved with "Born to Run" that no only can he write, more important is that his perspective on life is unique. Like B2R, this is a most wonderful cornucopia of different aspects of people, animals, life, lifestyles, etc. etc. I am now at the point of sadness that my reading of this wonderful story is to end. AH, such is life. This book may end up being in that unique for me category of books read twice.

[@pattihartman115]

Loved, loved, loved the book!

[@LemonCandy419]

I really appreciate what you guys did for this little cutie ❤

[@bamknm90]

Long live Sherman.

[@johncarpenter6127]

A friend loaned me Running With Sherman and I thoroughly enjoyed this very informative and heart warming book which has a great story to tell. I ran trails in Colorado for many years with my old dog, whose ashes are up on one of the mountain passes we frequented, so I understand how special the animal/human can be in sharing outdoor endeavors. When I'm back in Colorado this summer I'll have to check out a burro race!

[@sherikerr4177]

Born to Run is one of my favorite books and I just read about his new book in a Time magazine at a doctor's office. It was meant to be! Now I have another book to look forward to! My neighbor has a donkey named Mano and it's so cute to listen to him bray and another donkey on the other side of the creek answers back!

[@nancyburnett168]

You're going to love Running with Sherman!

[@jackbraddell1124]

Love what you do !!

[@Suzannahartist]

Bought the audio cried when I heard poor Sherman's shocking state - so glad you adopted Sherman

[@debbiejaynes2652]

with Flower and Tildonkey!

[@flowersnyc]

Thanks for writing a great book! It was mentioned to me. I finished, and recommended it to someone else. Made me proud to have a career with animals. Best job in the world.

[@kaykaksu2118]

Just finished the book. I absolutely loved it! Amazing stories! Many set backs but it was the most uplifting book I have ever read! Thanks!!!

[@kbwoodcock]

Just finished the book. You all rock. Heart, perseverance, empathy, love, and a little crazy. 👍🏻❤️

[@wtdash]

Chris...you did it again. Another wonderful, inspiring, educational book. Loved listening to the story and your narration. P.S. Still running in my 5-fingers. :-)

[@user-ud3xv8np3v]

Donkey wars is hilarious

[@lauraagudo]

Amazing! Great job!! 👍👍❤

[@thekksinca824]

From born-to-run to run-to-save. Who was the one saved? I don't know. Loved the book.

[@carolecarr1064]

Love this book. Will read it every year! My book club members were concerned about the health status of the young people in the book, and want to know if their families gave permission for so much to be disclosed. Anyone know?

[@jarkkoreponen7293]

Sherman ❤

[@gildone84]

Looking forward to reading the book.

[@wafflebeaver]

I also read the his book about barefoot running. It did motivate me to run different and allowed me to run further than I ever thought was possible. Will reading the next book motivate me to rescue a donkey?

[@badhuskies]

I just read it and want a donkey SO BAD!

[@jodirichard405]

Me too!!!

[@345kobi]

Flat beautiful. Hope you remembered to slap the hell out of the previous owner.
