Arthur - The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home is a memoir written by Mikael Lindnord and Val Hudson in 2016. It is the true story of one man and a dog who found each other during an adventure race in Ecuador.

The book has been translated into multiple languages and has been adapted as the upcoming film Arthur the King by Lionsgate.

Plot

As Mikael Lindnord leads his Swedish adventure racing team on a challenging 435-mile journey through the jungles and mountains of South America, an unexpected companion joins them. Despite the inconvenience of having a stray dog follow them after Mikael shares a meatball with the scruffy yet dignified mongrel, the team find themselves unable to shake off their newfound canine friend. As they face rivers, illnesses, injuries, exhaustion and some of the toughest terrain on Earth, Mikael realizes he has formed a strong bond with the dog, now named Arthur.[1][2][3]

Their shared odyssey, documented with candid photographs and narrated in compelling prose, serves as a powerful testament to the remarkable connection between dogs and humans. When the team reaches the finish line, Mikael decides to adopt Arthur and bring him back to his family in Sweden, demonstrating the enduring and extraordinary companionship that can develop between man and dog.[4]

Adaptation

The book has been adapted into the upcoming film Arthur the King, directed by Simon Cellan Jones and starring Mark Wahlberg as Mikael Lindnord, Simu Liu as Liam and Juliet Rylance as Mikael's wife Helena Lindnord.[5][6][7] Though the story recounted in the books took place in Ecuador, the film was set and filmed in the Dominican Republic, much to the consternation and disappointment of many Ecuadorians.
