Slumdog Millionaire meets Forrest Gump

In 2018, under a full moon in the remote Mantiqueira mountain range in Brazil, a sickly stray dog chose to follow a runner during the Brazil 135 ultramarathon. He stayed by his side for 140 miles.

Fast forward to 2021, when Lucky the stray, now living the life in Florida, set off with his ultrarunner soulmate, David Green, on the journey of their lives — a four-month run covering 3,400 miles from Jacksonville Beach, Florida, to Muir Beach, California. Their route took them through a nation ravaged by Covid-19 and still reeling from the most toxic presidential election in history. An RV became their nightly retreat-on-wheels, captained by Chris, an affable chef from Brooklyn, who would provide so much more than food.

This is David’s honest account, his love letter to Lucky, after three short years together, during which time they inspired each other to break barriers of what is thought possible for dogs and humans -- physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

An unexpected love story!

I love dogs, I love running, hiking and walking and my people that make up my world. This was such a simple story of the beauty all around us because of love and kindness.

Great adventure read

As a dog lover, this story was absolutely incredible. Loved learning about what it takes to run across America. Excellent narration.

A true and human story for the ages!

I loved this book and grew to appreciate the interaction between Lucky, David and Chris. I laughed and smiled constantly and cried as well. Lucky’s pack was a trio that needed each other. If you love dogs, you will love this book and if you enjoy stories of the human (and dog) spirit then this is an adventure for you.

Thank you David for sharing your story! I need to meet you and thank you in person for the time well spent!

A beautiful true story about the love of a man and his dog

This broke my heart, listening to the pain and emotional distress that the Owner went through while treating his dog for cancer and running across the country
The graphic detail made me feel like I was running alongside of them, enjoying the beautiful country of the United States of America

Emotional true story

Amazing heart wrenching story of true companionship from a faithful 4 legged friend. A must read for all pet lovers and adventure seekers.
