Finding Gobi: Runner reunited with marathon companion dog
25 August 2016 Asia
"It was love again at immediate sight", is how Dion Leonard describes the moment he was reunited with his adopted dog, Gobi.
The dog had joined the ultra-marathoner on a 250km (155 mile) run across China's Gobi desert last month.
They became inseparable, winning an online fanbase which helped fund Mr Leonard's plan to bring Gobi to the UK.
But earlier this week, the dog suddenly went missing, sparking an online campaign to find him.
