Movie for dogfriends and future dogfriends:
Screening soon (release date: 21st of March): Arthur the King. It’s a movie inspired by a true story of an Ecuadorean stray dog who bonded with a team of Swedish adventure racers.
Grab your tissues 😁.
Mikael Lindnord, the true guardian of Arthur, wrote a book about their adventure:
‘I knew nothing about dogs. Never had one, never wanted one, but I could see that this dog was somehow special. It was as if he had some sort of inner calm, as if he knew stuff. I opened the pack of meatballs. They were now warmed and looked meaty and good. I put a spoon into the mass inside, got up and moved towards the dog. He carried on looking at me as I approached. Neither coming nearer nor moving away, just looking at me. I got a little nearer, and I bent down and put a spoonful of the meatballs on the ground in front of him. I decided that one wasn’t enough and added another one in front of the dog.
“There you go,” I said. Finally he stopped looking at me and, bending his big head down to the ground, he wolfed the lot almost in one go. “You were hungry, my friend,” I said to him under my breath.’
