The moment he ran by her she knew. "That's some good energy. I'm going with him. He will make my life great." She called that right on. Just a good human.
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
@@polimana yes, I'd like to think so. When I saw him, I actually drove closer to him and told him to scramble off. He just stayed there looking at me, so I started yelling at him to scare him away. He started running on the road, which was even more dangerous. So I drove on his side while yelling at him to go away. That's when he realized I was speaking to him, stopped, got closer on jumped on the moped. It's been 2.5 years and not a day goes by when I don't think of this moment.
@@yadusolparterre ohhhhh U r so kind, bless U sending. Best wishes to U from Australia 👩❤️💋👩. I admire very much people that do what U did,. Can I ask how much in American dollard did the process cost in American dollars?🦊🐕🐈🐱🐺💏🙏🙏
Did I read that wrong? He stayed in Beijing for 5 MONTHS of quarantine? That is a long quarantine and an understanding wife. Gobi has more than earned an easy life.
Robyne, I was thinking the same thing!! Imagine how lucky this guy is to have found a wife that stands behind your wild impulses AND find a dog at random that stands right next to you enjoying those wild impulses as much as you do!! That is one lucky guy, a lucky wife to find a gem of a compassionate soul, and a lucky dog to have had the good sense to see their soulmate running past and just jump in and make the journey into the guys heart. Such an excellent story!! I love this kind of stuff!! ❤️👍🏻😎👍🏻❤️
🐾 It was 5 months of co-quarantine with Gobi, but his wife did come to China for a visit during that time. There's a video of Gobi meeting her new mommy then they visited a dog meat farm rescue org together, which had helped in Finding Gobi.
@@jimmydeewilliams6489 I also made a promise to my dog. I promised to care and love him always. Especially now that he’s 18 years old, almost completely blind, completely toothless and very hard of hearing. He’s a stubborn dachshund named Kaiser. Our vet gave him a clean bill of health last week and is amazed how healthy he is besides his lack of sight, teeth and hearing. He still runs around at a full sprint and greets us with loud barks and wagging tail. His coat is 90% silver like a silver back gorilla. 😂 💪🏽
Tbh it's not so surprising that he stayed - most people who love animals and travel would love to do that - but it's more astonishing that he was able to do that all of a sudden (like, what about his job and family back home?) And that he could afford to do so financially...
Have you actually studied biosecurity? Because 5 months of quarantine wasn't just chosen arbitrarily. I've seen a similar complaint about bringing pets to Australia by people who don't understand how vulnerable we are without such measures.
I love seeing this man love this little dog! Gobi definitely did choose him! I was nearly in tears when he couldn’t find her! It’s so amazing that he stayed with her during quarantine! What a wonderful life they share now! Just beautiful to see!
He's a wonderful man, indeed. We found our German Shepherd while my dad was out running - he was the best dog. I miss him dearly. So happy Gobi has her loving dad! :)
Um yeah the most I’ve ever run is 20. Phew. But I was 18 and in the best shape of my life. I’m going to try to do the 26.2 in a year. I’m about to start the training for it. But there’s no way in hell I could do 77 unless the zombies were after me.
I read his book, "Finding Gobi" - it was really good! 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! 💞
i_love_rescue_animals They eat dogs in China. They have them in cages in open markets and people choose them and then...well, you can imagine. I'm not being racist, I have Chinese friends. Maybe that's why he had problems getting her out.
I'm in China for work and adopted a dog in difficulty with her puppy and will bring them back in my country in January. Telling their story on my TH-cam channel. Gobi's story is great. I just love all the stories about animals.
I have similar looking dog 😊 my father find him on a highway near by Prague and bring him to me to Slovakia. He was also home less. Now he’s happy and safe 😌
had a similar way of getting my cat, aberdeen i was walking around my neighborhood w my friend at the time, and she came running up to us. she was super skinny and really dirty, but she let me pick her up. she let me carry her all the way home swaddled in a jacket. my friend had actually taken care of her at one point, so i thought maybe he could take her back, but he couldnt. i tried to rehome her, because i thought it would be hard to take care of her, but she ended up staying. shes a huge symbol of change for me and my life, and so much positivty has come out of her being with me. i love her so much. she now takes baths regularly, eats 3 meals a day, goes on walks with me (leash and harness of course!), and even knows alot of tricks! i love my cat. pets choose you, they really do. they show up in your life at the oddest times, but often the best times.
Can't wait till the day I'm able to have another pet in my life. Personal reasons just do not allow that to occur at the present time. I'm coming for you one day....hang in there sweet animals.
They suspect Gobi was dognapped and was originally going to be held for ransom, but when Dion came back & the publicity around Gobi exploded they got cold feet and released her. The circumstances surrounding her "going missing" and the location she was found at lend credence to this theory. Either way, Gobi, Dion, Lucja, and Lara the cat are one big happy family. What a wonderful story!
Gobi choose you because she's know you have a kind heart. Looking the ways gobi treats you, i can feel the unconditional love from her to you. May God always blessed you and your family, Sir Dion. In addition, sorry for my bad english i'm still working on it.
You are so very lucky that Gobi picked you! What an incredibly cute dog with loads of personality! Isn’t it wonderful to be loved so much by your doggie?! I bet he’ll be your best friend of all for life. It is so amazing you found Gobi after she ran away, most likely looking for you. Really, really lucky! Gobi is certainly suppose to be with you for sure!
I absolutely love this story and have seen the video multiple times. This bond between man and dog is so amazing. I can't believe he actually found the dog after she went missing. Tail wags all round!!!
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 😄.
Whatever it was that made Gobi run with “Dad”, he chose the perfect person, who is so loving and sincere❣️ Gobi’s happiness is profound and so is “Dad’s👍💗
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.
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.
I would like to see the reason why anyone would feel the need to give this video a thumbs down. This is a story of a man, that went above and beyond for a homeless dog, what did I miss?
Faith restored! You people are absolute angels and Gobi is just the cutest ever! She chose you mister and you didn't let her down, so heartwarming!❤☺🤗💞
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
Cheers to you mate. Your level of love and compassion for that dog is unfathomable. We need a whole lot more people in the world with your kindness & dedication. God bless you sir.
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!!
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!... Your story could be made into a fantastic film!!!... Full credit to you for going back and not giving up... Your right when you say this goes further than man finds a dog... Somebody somewhere sent you Gobi and that my darling is a beautiful thing... Sending love and best wishes from Nottingham, England... X❤X
It was! Its was heartbreaking!! Even for luja his wife who had only seen photos and media of little gobi! If you can find it, read "Finding Gobi". Its the book he wrote about the race and falling head over heels in love with her.. then her "going missing" and finally, being found and taken home safely to Scotland to live the amazing, happy life she now has! Its amazing, as he says in the book and here, she chose him from the moment she seen him... she couldve went and did what she did with ay of the thousands of peoplemin that race but, the first day, she picked him... he says... her running with him everyday, despite arriving starved/dehydrated and homeless, she ran and ran and he believes it was a way fr her to almost prove to him that she was worthy of having a home with him... that she did it every single day to try to make him see she loved him already and that, she would litterally go to the ends of the earth for him if he would just give her a loving home and open up his heart to her and love her as she loved him... god only knows how long she had been homeless, living in the desert.. how long it had been since she tasted water and food... and how abused she had been... she truely is a gift and an angel straight from god and heaven sent to not only him... but the story hit people all over the world! Bless you!
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!!! You MUST read that book!!!! 💘🐕💘🐕💘🐕
A Soul Mate is a fellow life traveller, which comes in many forms but you know it when you finally meet them. This for me is such a case. What a gem of a story about the connection, love and unwavering commitment to get their Gobi home. Thank you Dodo.
One of my most favorite examples of endurance, respect loyalty & love...This will always be one amazing, truly inspiring life story. Thank you all for sharing your unexpected adventure!❤😊🎉
I have only recently lost my sweet girl, Veruca, who is or was the dog who was with me longer than any other -- nearly 16 years. I'm not a sweet nor sensitive man, but seeing videos like this (even glorious perfect ones) brings me to tears. The love we have for these creatures and the love they have for us is unparalleled. It's a shame their lifespans are so cruelly short in comparison.
Title should read "Dog adopts guy"
All dogs adopt their "owners".
Your not wrong
Lol
True
Yes!!!!!!
She was definitely looking for you when she ran away
Yes, i second that too! And her wish of finding him did come true..as he flew back and got reunited soon afterwards.
Aweeee I never thought about it that way😭
Yea he run away because he was looking for him
I think that too, she got desperated and try to find him
STOPP NFDNAFJDKL IM CRYING
The moment he ran by her she knew. "That's some good energy. I'm going with him. He will make my life great." She called that right on. Just a good human.
Right. She’s just a bundle of energy herself
great comment

Try bringing a dog into Australia. It's $2K and they can hold your dog anywhere from 10 days to 6 months.
Im pretty sure he made a mistake. It was probably 5 weeks😅

@@Lionforaday he took Gobi back to the United Kingdom. I think that the restrictions on importing a dog are very similar.
I love this story. He made Gobi a promise that he’d take her back to the U.K. So heartwarming. Thank you for sharing.

When it comes to animals I truly believe that you don't find them, THEY FIND YOU! You have the animal you're meant to have.
Christy Dunlap yes I truly believe this👌
it's God
Except here
I'm a believer too. I also think dogs can sense things because they are only motivated by unconditional love and not money or possessions.
Not always. I have had pets that were not a good match and I have had to find them another home.
She literally chose him. For whatever reason, they were destined.
He really stayed five months with her until they could go home? God there’s still hope for humanity after all.
Tbh it's not so surprising that he stayed - most people who love animals and travel would love to do that - but it's more astonishing that he was able to do that all of a sudden (like, what about his job and family back home?) And that he could afford to do so financially...

The Dodo reminds me of this every day. Very grateful to them.
urrrrm... as long as there's Humans, there will be Humanity! 🤦🏼♀️
I think you mean "Faith in Humanity"
he is so lucky they didnt eat her! they eat dogs in china
5 months of quarantine is rediculous!!! Staying with her that long is also Amazing. Now that's love!!
It use to be a full year quarantine for pets to enter the UK.
@@kittys.2870 i think is called quarantine because are 40 days...italian for 40 is quaranta and quarantine is quarantena and usually are 40 days
Have you actually studied biosecurity? Because 5 months of quarantine wasn't just chosen arbitrarily. I've seen a similar complaint about bringing pets to Australia by people who don't understand how vulnerable we are without such measures.
quarantine is not ridiculous, here is the UK we do NOT have rabies and we don't want it.
Great story. Congratulations on the "Running Mate" joining the family. Best wishes to you and yours and to all here on UT !
She left looking for you. Such a blessing you went back for her and staying in quarantine with her too.

ALOHA FROM WAHIAWA,HAWAII
He's a wonderful man, indeed. We found our German Shepherd while my dad was out running - he was the best dog. I miss him dearly. So happy Gobi has her loving dad! :)
There is a book called finding gobi all about it, its a really good read! :)
I'm still in doubt if it's really gobi tho wtf did he see any markings that its her
@@blognewb pretty sure he knew it was her hence the whole story being about a true connection....
Is no one gonna talk about the fact that the guy can run 77miles? Edit: Tysm for 1.2k likes most likes I’ve gotten
I can run for like two meters in like probably 20 seconds and im like "hold up oh god im tired"
@MB He did it in five or six days, which is still impressive.
Um yeah the most I’ve ever run is 20. Phew. But I was 18 and in the best shape of my life. I’m going to try to do the 26.2 in a year. I’m about to start the training for it. But there’s no way in hell I could do 77 unless the zombies were after me.
Or the fact that he can afford to travel to the Gobi desert to run 77 miles and just randomly decide to live in move to China for 6 months?
There are also 100 mile marathons, which like man, I can barely run 1, but I only know that cause my high school science teacher ran them lmao
Dude! The world badly needs more people like you! Thanks for sharing!!
Not even joking - this is my favorite episode from The Dodo ever! Gobi is so adorable!!!
So glad it's your favorite! 👏
Read the book tho
The book is also great
Nah all videos of The Dodo are my favorites.

Daniel Sambar Yeah, it’s literally not possible.
Gobi worked hard to keep up with him. Her tiny little steps against his long strides. I'm so happy he recognized she belonged with him.☺
I'm in China for work and adopted a dog in difficulty with her puppy and will bring them back in my country in January. Telling their story on my TH-cam channel. Gobi's story is great. I just love all the stories about animals.

The book of this is one of the few non fiction books I've actually really enjoyed. Such a sweet story!
Gobi is an amazingly brilliant dog to know to pick this particularly kind hearted guy... Such a sweet story. And Gobi is so cute!
A beautiful love story.
I would like to see the reason why anyone would feel the need to give this video a thumbs down. This is a story of a man, that went above and beyond for a homeless dog, what did I miss?
Some people are just hard core negative
Two strong and loving friends.
Best friends forever
Such a beautiful bond.
Faith restored! You people are absolute angels and Gobi is just the cutest ever! She chose you mister and you didn't let her down, so heartwarming!❤☺🤗💞

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
3:19...the way Gobi looks at him 😭😭
What a beautiful story
Cheers to you mate. Your level of love and compassion for that dog is unfathomable. We need a whole lot more people in the world with your kindness & dedication. God bless you sir.
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!!
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!... Your story could be made into a fantastic film!!!... Full credit to you for going back and not giving up... Your right when you say this goes further than man finds a dog... Somebody somewhere sent you Gobi and that my darling is a beautiful thing... Sending love and best wishes from Nottingham, England... X❤X
You've done it again The Dodo, wonderful and uplifting.
Good for you Gobi! Well done human! You're meant for each other.
I’m bloody crying.
The loss of her must have been so devastating, so happy that you found her!
It was! Its was heartbreaking!! Even for luja his wife who had only seen photos and media of little gobi! If you can find it, read "Finding Gobi". Its the book he wrote about the race and falling head over heels in love with her.. then her "going missing" and finally, being found and taken home safely to Scotland to live the amazing, happy life she now has! Its amazing, as he says in the book and here, she chose him from the moment she seen him... she couldve went and did what she did with ay of the thousands of peoplemin that race but, the first day, she picked him... he says... her running with him everyday, despite arriving starved/dehydrated and homeless, she ran and ran and he believes it was a way fr her to almost prove to him that she was worthy of having a home with him... that she did it every single day to try to make him see she loved him already and that, she would litterally go to the ends of the earth for him if he would just give her a loving home and open up his heart to her and love her as she loved him... god only knows how long she had been homeless, living in the desert.. how long it had been since she tasted water and food... and how abused she had been... she truely is a gift and an angel straight from god and heaven sent to not only him... but the story hit people all over the world! Bless you!

He wrote a book. Wow! I need to read it. 😲💖🐕🐶
Tnkx for saying that😁
there is a book!
I wish I had a Barbara weber from the bachelor meme for this "bring her home. bring her home to us"
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!!! You MUST read that book!!!! 💘🐕💘🐕💘🐕
A Soul Mate is a fellow life traveller, which comes in many forms but you know it when you finally meet them. This for me is such a case. What a gem of a story about the connection, love and unwavering commitment to get their Gobi home. Thank you Dodo.
One of my most favorite examples of endurance, respect loyalty & love...This will always be one amazing, truly inspiring life story.
Thank you all for sharing your unexpected adventure!❤😊🎉
What a wonderful, wonderful story. Lovely man, gorgeous little dog.
You were blessed when this dog found you. The bond is amazing and she is so happy to be with you.
I have only recently lost my sweet girl, Veruca, who is or was the dog who was with me longer than any other -- nearly 16 years. I'm not a sweet nor sensitive man, but seeing videos like this (even glorious perfect ones) brings me to tears. The love we have for these creatures and the love they have for us is unparalleled. It's a shame their lifespans are so cruelly short in comparison.
This man was a God given savior. God bless him for going back and bringing this precious little fluff ball home to stay! Yay!!!
