Read this story the other day...with all the bad news going on in the world, it was a breath of fresh air! You can see more pictures of Arthur and his new family here: https://www.facebook.com/peakperform...tureracingteam

His new owner has even started an Arthur Foundation that will help other stray dogs. Yay!

It's been 2.5 years since this story first surfaced. Since then, Arthur has been living with his racing buddy in Sweden. ESPN has done a great documentary -- about 14 minutes long -- about Arthur's story:
Arthur the Dog completes the 2014 Adventure Racing World Championship to find a family

This documentary is tremendous. As Lindnord says at the end, he gets emotional because it's the best thing he's ever done. He saved a life and transformed his own (and his family's) in the process, and it all started with a little compassion and a meatball. :-)

You can also keep tabs on Arthur via Mikael Lindnor's Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/mikaellindnord/?hl=en
