SOB.
Deep in the Ecuadorian rain forest, four Swedish athletes competing in the Adventure Racing World Championship were sitting down for a meal when they were approached by a stray dog.
They were entering the final stages of the gruelling race and about to trek dozens of miles through the jungle.

They thought nothing of throwing him a meatball. But they could have had no idea what would happen next.

Because a few kilometres later, they realised the dog was following them. It simply refused to leave their side. They named him Arthur.
It was a strenuous, muddy journey. On several occasions they had to pull him out of the mud.

On another occasion a team mate was dehydrated and needed medical attention: Arthur stood guard over him while they waited for it.
