This is Arthur:
For a long time, Arthur didn't have a name -- just another stray dog living in Ecuador. Then he met Team Peak Performance, a Swedish team competing in the grueling Adventure Racing World Championship. One team member, Mikael Lindnord, fed Arthur a meatball.
Now, it's just one meatball, but anyone who owns a dog knows that once you feed a dog, you are now that dog's best friend forever. Arthur started following Team Peak Performance -- and didn't stop.
He followed them on roads:
Through the mud:
And even swam with them in rivers, although they brought him into the boat when he started to get cold and tired:
Things ended up going pretty well for Arthur -- he got a meatball, a name and, if Lindnord has his way, a new owner and a home in Sweden. Good boy.
