Marathon runner reunited with four-legged friend
She ran across the room and jumped in my arms when she saw me
This morning we heard of the remarkable story of marathon runner Dion Leonard, who ran through China's Gobi Desert - and for 77 miles was followed by a stray dog he later named Gobi.
Dion planned to bring Gobi back to his home in Edinburgh but days before she was due to enter quarantine in August she disappeared. Talking about the moment he heard the news Dion told us: "It was the worst phone call I have ever received".
However, Dion ran a huge social media campaign to find Gobi and miraculously she was found! Now reunited back home in Edinburgh, this year they plan run many more races together.
