I am in America. There is not a lot that makes me, a grown old man of 60 cry, but this made me cry. Thank you for saving this dog, now pass the tissues......
Arthur sadly passed on December 8th 2020. The family will not get another dog. Mikael was quoted as saying "Arthur is the only dog I've had and the only one I'll ever have. We had six amazing years together. We have been lucky to be able to work from home and be together all the time. Thank you Ecuador for us being able to borrow such a beatuiful soul"
I just finished reading the book. I was amazed at what lengths Arthur went to be able to be with the person he chose. It’s really an awesome feeling being selected by a dog that is so in need of love and a good home. I had a rescue dog pick me and my hubby. I was so taken by the connection being instantly made. I lost her two years ago to cancer;( I am sad to learn that Arthur has passed. I am so glad he had a wonderful rest of his life with the person he wanted for his care giver and companion. God bless all who helped this innocent creature get veterinary care and a good home.
I've read the book, I think it's called something like:"The dog that came out of the Jungle!" It is fascinating to read. This Swedish guy and his wife are amazing!! And Arthur is part of the family now. It happens that a dog adopts a human, it's so heart warming!!❤
Absolutely! It is tailor made for a movie, because it's a true story. I hope the dog wasn't too old, so that it can enjoy a number of years in Mikael's home.
I read the Vets estimated him to be about 3 at the time of his journey. An older dog could never have made it like Arthur managed. Even w/his bad health & wounds. Just *amazing!*
He looks like my dog, a Labradoodle and she is very loyal and goes with me on long trail walks near where I live here in Alberta.She even let me know when somebody was trying to break into my pickup truck during the early hours of the morning. I'm glad that you had the heart to adopt him.He definitely has a good home now. As for you Mikael, you have demonstrated the best principles of sportsmanship.....not only how you and your team played the game but in the view of the whole world...... how you really won the game.
What a kind, kind man, taking care of a stray dog like that in that situation. Now he should be a living saint. And he is so cute too! LOL!! And I know cute when i see it. I am 63 years old. Ha, ha!!!
You are a beautiful family and the addition of Arthur is a bonus. I am so happy that Arthur can be an abassador for the street Dog's in Equador. Dog's are amazing Animal's and deserve to be treated kindly. They can change everyones life for the better and people should only get a Dog from a rescue shelter. There are too many waiting and hoping for a home with a family like this compassionate Swedish family.
What a great story. Thank you good people for making it real. God bless you Mikael, may you, your family and Arthur have a fantastic time united together : )
just finished watching the movie.. youre a good man sir… you never gave up fighting to bring him home. glad Arthur was able to live 6 beautiful years with you and your wonderful family. RIP Arthur, the King.
@Fruitblossom Blue: It's what they do. Satan can't stand even seeing his Victor's name in writing. Let alone hearing it! ;) If mankind took lessons from the dogs *God* created, we wouldn't have half the issues in the world we do. & Myes wouldn't have the issues of hate & frustration he/she does, either. God *wins* in the end. Even Satan knows that. So Satan's servants will really have something to whine about, then.
I have followed Arthur's story (and Mikael's of course!) since seeing it on the BBC news. What an adorable, brave dog and fair play to Mikael and his team for allowing Arthur to join them I hope there's going to be a movie on the big screen but Arthur will have to have a double as he's done his bit, Perhaps he could be an adviser? Thanks for the video.
BRAVI to all of you as team-members (the four of you who joined for that race) AND no less also to Mr.Lindnord's wife and daughter. Truly, Arthur is quite a special boy to have stuck with your team through a 700-km. race - and yes, there's absolutely no doubt that he's worth much more than all the gold-medals of the world could ever be: nothing can be more important than a living being (be it human or animal), and God WILL Reward you for helping Arthur. "Well done, good and faithful servant!"
Beautiful family. Michael has such a beautiful spirit and it is matched by Arthur's. How deeply heartwarming is this evolving companionship-journey. May God continue to bless each of you.
So amazing and your team was wonderful for not just trying to get rid of him. The dog got the team so much publicity, but what the team was doing was pretty amazing too. I would like to learn more about them and their journey also.
Holy crap. This is the coolest, most awesome and incredible doggy story I've ever watched on UA-cam. If it were fiction, it would be dismissed as not believable. Oh, I'm a grown man and yea I cried. This family and this man have been blessed.
You cant bring the dog,....how inhumane?? But million thanks to Mikael, between medals n humanity, you chose humanity, you did not only rescued Arthur, ut also us as mankind, our fading humanity!
well each country has their own restrictions in terms of bringing an animal from another country… but glad this good man never gave up the fight to bring him home.. man. just a big SALUTE to this guy. respect
May you enjoy a long and loving life together. We have so much to learn from you and Arthur . I cried too.i weep for all those dear creatures who suffer from human intervention.
You did a wonderful deed in saving this dog when he loved you, depended on you and needed you. I feel better about people when I hear this story, which I have listened to dozens of times.
MIKAEL LINDORD, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING HOW SMART and INTELLIGENT STRAY DOGS LIKE ARTHUR CAN BE...CAN YOU KINDLY POST AN UPDATE ON ARHTUR AND HAVE YOU STARTED A FOUNDATION ARTHUR FOUNDATION TO HELP STRAY DOGS IN EQUADOR....SOME TOLD ME AS A CHILD DOGS/CATS/ANIMALS ARE THE EMBODIMENT OF ANGELS SPIRIT AND THEY WILL WARN /PROTECT YOU/LOVE YOU!! BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Will be made into a movie starring Mark Wahlberg. I saw Arthur some years ago at the book fair in Gothenburg in Sweden. Wherever he went people just went "aaaaw" and it was like he brought an aura of calm among all the fair visitors:-)
What a poor Arthur, the stray dog ! But a big thank you to Mikael and the member of the Team Peak Performance for decided to "help" the dog and instead, ended up disqualified for the race. Happy to learn that Arthur now has a forever home with a loving family of Mikael. Hoping to see they will make this "heart touching" story into a movie. Can't wait to see them. Cheers from Malaysia.
Loved this beautiful story!! I love all the pics of Arthur and him together. This Must be a movie!! Why has No one made the script, not to hard! All the info is right there! Also, a story about a dog name Gobi who followed a runner for miles an days. Both tear jerkers, great men who saved both dogs too.
ARTHUR ES EL TITAN ,AVENTURERO , EL PERCISTENTE BUSCANDO LA AMISTA Y EL AMOR DE MAICKEL . ES GRANDIOSO , ADORALE ,FANTASTICO . AMO A ARTHUR ES MUY ESPECIAL . SHALOM.
Amazing story of courage, devotion & love. I so hope that a foundation is well in place & the dogs of Ecuador are now protected by some laws. Blessings to all involved w/Arthur's incredible journey & life. What's taking so long w/the movie???!
First I'm sorry for my bad English langage ... I have finished the book wich is speaking of this great adventure happened to this fabulous dog nammed Arthur : I like too much this story , and as I like dogs ( I have one nammed IBIS ), I hope than many good people as Mikael will adopt a poor dog , and I also hope that laws about the life of all animals in these countries of South America will change , why so violence against them ,it's so cruel ! To finish , a great " Bonjour et une grosse caresse à Arthur " from France !
Hola, soy colombiana. He seguido la historia de Arthur. Es un Gran Perro. Y ustedes seres humanos a quienes debemos imitar. No conozco su idioma y tampoco hablo inglés, podrian traducirlo al español? Gracias.
Sad that the translation team was so incompetent when it came to this interview. He explained for example that the teammembers basically took one mouthful of food each and gave the rest to Arthur at the picture shown 3:37
For the price of a meatball and a tiny bit of compassion this dog gave his whole heart.
I am in America. There is not a lot that makes me, a grown old man of 60 cry, but this made me cry. Thank you for saving this dog, now pass the tissues......
Rick Stewart
I'm Canadian, 67 cried too. Uplifting story of love and commitment. I started watching the other videos first and ended up here.
Will be ade into a movie with Mark Wahlberg. Just read about it in the news here in Sweden. Bring tissues to the movie theatre!
@@iinmmnorthumberland393just saw the trailer, arthur the king. i cried, hard, ugly. we do not deserve the love of dogs, but still, they give.
I cried also
Arthur sadly passed on December 8th 2020. The family will not get another dog. Mikael was quoted as saying "Arthur is the only dog I've had and the only one I'll ever have.

This is Gold Medal.
***** yes u are right
+Cassadanielle Picasso more like diamond medal.
Cassadanielle Picasso So truexxx
Arthur is better than a medal!!
6:43 the iconic photo that touched the world
"Human, you have fed me and I cannot in good conscience allow you to go into that jungle alone. I must guide you."
His heart is a gold medal :)
You both showed amazing loyalty through the journey. You deserve each other. It was written. Cheers boys!
Mikael, you are a true winner! Arthur too!
Arthur obviously needed you. Thank you for loving him.
Save just one dog in your lifetime. It will make you a better person.
Hope in humanity restored!
I've read the book, I think it's called something like:"The dog that came out of the Jungle!" It is fascinating to read. This Swedish guy and his wife are amazing!! And Arthur is part of the family now.
It happens that a dog adopts a human, it's so heart warming!!❤
They must make a movie out of this story. I'll watch and certainly cry
Absolutely! It is tailor made for a movie, because it's a true story. I hope the dog wasn't too old, so that it can enjoy a number of years in Mikael's home.
I read the Vets estimated him to be about 3 at the time of his journey.

Just *amazing!*
WIll be made into a movie with Mark Wahlberg. :-)
... and it comes out this year, lol
Well. The movie has arrived! ❤️
This would make a great children's book, adult novel, & movie! Please consider!
Disney must buy this story for sharing.

I love this man! A great heart!
Only matched by the dog's heart that 'chose' him. ;)
Arthur found a home. Great story and great people
What a kind, kind man, taking care of a stray dog like that in that situation. Now he should be a living saint. And he is so cute too! LOL!! And I know cute when i see it. I am 63 years old. Ha, ha!!!

Thank God for this. keep up the Arthur Foundation, it will get such support from all of us.
Yeah. This is all thanks to your god. Not - y'know - the efforts and sacrifice of the team.
No, no. It's all God. Thank him.
wow you sure get triggered when someone mentions God. Quite a lot of passion there for an "atheist"
yes thank God and God bless Mikael, Arthur and his family :)

it's almost 4 years ago when I first time read this story,I still remember Arthur and these good guys who saved Arthur.
A film about this story with Mark Wahlberg will be released in 2024.
Holy crap. This is the coolest, most awesome and incredible doggy story I've ever watched on UA-cam. If it were fiction, it would be dismissed as not believable.
Oh, I'm a grown man and yea I cried. This family and this man have been blessed.

What's taking so long w/the movie???!
why am i crying ?
tnx
Dear fellows from sweden. This guy is talking and talking and the subtitles are quite short. Is the language so different? What's this about?
Everything wasn't translated. They did a poor job with the subtiles
The subtitles are very simplified.
How badly had this dog been neglected to give so much devotion to a man who gave him a meatball to eat.
gotta make this into a great high budget family movie
Underbar historia! Undra hur han har det nu?
Forse sei stato fortunato tu, Mikael. Arthur è meraviglioso. Un cane speciale. Diciamo che siete entrambi fortunati.
Grazie, Mikael.
1:57 makes me tear up every time.
turning this into a Disney Film ....would be brilliant !

Amazing man and dog friendship. Can anyone tell what breed of dog was Arthur?
So long did he live❓

Hola, si buscas bien, la entrevista que le hacen a estos suecos si la encuentras traducida al Castellano. Salu2.
esta historia se convertirá en una película con Mark Wahlberg. :-)
