When Fate Delivers Your Dog: Martha Teichner’s Book “When Harry Met Minnie” | Gobi The Desert Dog | Dog Edition #9

Life-changing chance encounters happen every day. Is it fate, coincidence, or the mysterious guiding hand of the Universe?
Martha Teichner – When Harry Met Minnie
The Union Square Greenmarket is the beating heart of the romance of New York City. A chance encounter there led to Martha Teichner meeting Harry the Bull Terrier. He turned out to be a love match for her Bullie, Minnie ... and his mother, Carol Fertig, dying from liver cancer, turned out to be a remarkable friend for Martha. Their story is a bracing, modern fairytale about how saying yes to life is revitalizing, even in death. 
The Desert Dog I Couldn’t Desert
Ultramarathons are a grueling test of endurance, and those who run them tend to be masters of focus. So, when a scruffy little homeless dog joined Dion Leonard's Gobi Desert run, he tried to ignore her ... and failed (miserably). Dion named the pup Gobi and took her home to Scotland. Along the way, their multiple adventures proved the ultimate test of endurance. Dog Edition contributor Saskia Edwards presents their tale, a 101 Dog Stories winner.
