It was in the middle of the Gobi Desert where an unexpected friend entered ultramarathon runner Dion Leonard's life. A small chihuahua joined Leonard as he ran a 155-mile race. Determined to bring the little dog, now named Gobi, home to Scotland with him, Leonard spent six months in China getting her medical clearance. Leonard says running ultramarathons improved his physical and mental health, and brought him Gobi. Inside Edition Digital's TC Newman has more.

You’ve won better than gold medal, you won a best friend.

That dog picked the right person as her human. She's stinking cute too.

I like how she's not what you typically imagine when you picture a running dog, but her perseverence makes up for her tiny legs.

What a crappy friend to say, "Yo... Your dog ranaway sorry I can't help you anymore!"

“I don’t particularly like running.” Says the Ultramarathoner.

Thank you for going back to China to get Gobi. She was more important than winning a race.

'Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you'. Beautiful man. Very few would care half this much, and the world would be a very different place if they did.

“I don’t particularly like running.” must mean something different to me than to this man.

I believe Gobi didn’t get lost. SHe ran away to find her soulmate. So grateful these two reunited.

What a wonderfully beautiful story! Gobi is so stinking CUTE! ❤ Running has helped my daughter stay sober! On her 5 year sobriety anniversary, she ran and completed a 50-mile run! She has also adopted a running doggo partner, too!

The real gold medal was the friends we made along the way

Destiny? Fate? It was meant to be. These two were divinely brought together for each other's sake!

I had a little cry when you found her after she was lost.

Choking back tears when you went back thru the water to get her.
