Arthur the stray dog completes a 430-mile adventure | 5 News 

Maybe this team did not won the 1st position, but they have the best price of all... a warm hearth and humanity...

Beautiful movie & no sad ending. Loved Arthur with he's big soulful eyes. ❤

He was trying to show he was strong and wanting you to know he was a good dog..

RIP Arthur! :'( .Us Ecuadorians are happy that you spend these 6 years being loved.

No dogs grow winterfur when its cold. He is gonna love to play in the snow in the winter and swim in the sea summertime. He is never gonna meet an other streetdog again, they dont exist in Sweden. Arthur is going to eat meatballs for the rest of his life and sleep in his owners bed haha. Dogs in Sweden are true family. Arthur....very wellcome to Sweden, we allready love you

All animals never cease to amaze me & yet I know without any doubt they are purest souls. We humans can learn from them, IF we drop the ego & open our heart & minds

This is the power of Swedish meatballs

This Arthur is a one lucky pooch. He trusted the group and stayed together the entire journey and finally won the hearts of every one who came to know this story. Thanks to Michael too, for his kindness and understanding of this little pooch's plight. If it would have being me, sure I too would have adopted the little fella.

He deserves a forever home.

Arthur is happily living with Mikael and his family now :) As somebody else posted- in Sweden a dog has to be quarantined (for 4 months) before he is allowed to be released into his/her new home. A wonderful, heartening story- why can't all NEWS be like this?!

The team came in 12th place, but they are 1st place in my heart.

Why are dogs so much better creatures than us?

ARTHUR THE KING!

Arthur died today thank You mikael and his wife for loving him

So glad that this story will be immortalized in the movie. Arthur will live forever.

Arthur good luck with you're new family!!!! And yes I cry !!!!

*BEST Dog Story!* God Bless that Swedish Team & Mikael, for adopting him! More than 1st place could *ever* be!

Can't wait to see Arthur when he leaves quarantine and is living in his new home.

Of course he followed them for miles and miles. Swedish meatballs are amazing!!!

My dog reminds me of Arthur so very much. The only difference is I wasn't in an adventure race but pretty much everything else is the same. This dog was wounded and infected but she just wanted to be near me. It followed me everywhere until I couldn't take it anymore and took her to the vet. She made a full recovery and I'm happy to say she now lives with me and my wife and sleeps beside us every night. She is so sweet and full of love. I can't imagine not having her. She has without a doubt changed my life. There's no love like a dogs love.

How came here after seeing the trailer of Arthur the 👑.

Someone with a big heart and full of kindness for this beautiful dog MUST take him home and love him as he will return this love fourfold!

sometimes you just know, you just met your best mate !!!!!!!!!!! x

What a good boy

Arthur deserves a loving family and home..

So very sweet...

Just watched the movie. Great story.

Magnificent dog. He was and is such a godly creature.

I'm really surprised there hasn't been a movie or Doc about this man, the team and this wonderful dog! Arthur would be the Star of course!!

Yes..a wonderful .POOCH..I'm so happy he wad adopted...thanks so much god bless .the person who adopted the Dog..🇪🇨🇱🇷

Beautiful story in this cruel world!😊❤

The movie gets it really accurate👑❤️

I love that dog, i think about him every Day.

what a wonderful and emotional story about Arthurs love, loyalty and friendship with a stranger he wonted as a a friend

this story so got me ..and when I got to the end and seen you adopted him I punched the air ...well done your brill guys

What a lovely story it really touched my ❤️ I love animals specially 🐶 they are great companionship🐾

ARTHUR SU MEJOR AMIGO FIEL POR SIEMPRE , VIVIRA EN SU CORAZON TODA LA ETERNIDAD . SHALOM

I live in Örnsköldsvik :D This is awesome.

they are number 1 in my book and winners all the way around bless you all

I saw the espn feature on Arthur and it was the best story ever glad to see he kept the dog !!

I just watched the movie. The whole thing was basically a documentary about the history of swedish meatballs and why they are so good

Lovely dog!!!

Good for you Arthur and I hope in Ecuador there would be more compassion ....

KING ARTHUR

god bless the whole team including the team phototografer for helping Arthur. god bless sweeden - karl. m. boston, mass usa

So they did not adopt him if I understood correctly but placed him in a dog shelter. I guess it is way better than leaving him stray on the streets of Ecuador but still after all that took place one of the team members could adopt him :-(. This is a bit sad. Though it is a big responsibility. If they didn't feel up for the task then they did more than they should've by taking it to Sweden and placing it in the best dog care facility they found. Good for them.

Give love to human as soon they depart from you never care for you when you need them they don't care when you give love to homeless dog food water they follow you they kiss you for your love never leave you That's the powers love of dog ❤mighty god bless all dogs all animals😂😂😂😂 .

Thank you team Sweden!

Looking forward to the movie ❤❤❤

❤🐶

i woulda called arthur meatball instead. bless you mikael for taking him home

Than you for Arthur ....angel

Just so everyone knows, the dog had to stay in quarantine for several months but was adopted by this man and his family.

Dogs are as cognizant as human beings

Oh yes, those famous great Swedish meatballs, he is just the smartest dog!! Lovely story, i am happy for you , your family and the Arthur (very appropriate name) You all have a friend for life!. It is not only just the meatballs he loved, this dog choose you as his forever master, that is why he followed you :) )

What a heart felt story ❤❤❤❤❤. No #1 movie

"Amor de un perro, fiel y verdadero"

RIP Arthur

This was such a great story.

Very nice too many dogs are left to die in this world. I am from Montreal Canada and there are not so many stray dogs as stray cats I have rescued so many stray cats here.

Arthur found a pack!

please update us. what is happening with arthur now? thanks.

The power of Swedish meatballs...

What a grand story. How is he now (2016)?

Ahh the power of Swedish meatballs!

I pray that a good family with children find her in the shelter and adopt her. Thats the very least the the people should do,,

fantastic

That was a good meatball!!! haha Well done.

I dont understand why many people many country's abuse .

wow.

Dogs are wayyyyy better than humans.

Who is here after watching Arthur the King movie?

Watching him swim to be part of something...because he had no one.....to be part of a team...not knowing that you will leave....

mother nature decides when two soulmates will meet ..

🐕🐾🐾💞😍

imm...crying my balls out

Most countries have a quarantine period to make sure the animal is not ill. Some countries are 90 days. The animals are well cared for and the team went to visit Arthur while awaiting his release. Last year when actor Johnny Depp went to Australia with his wife, Amber, to film another of the pirate movies. They flew in with their 2 tiny dogs. They didn't know that animals have a quarantine. They govt. threatened to seize both dogs and put them to sleep. Both dogs were up to date on their shots and the Depp's had all their papers from their veterinarian. Both dogs were also spayed/neutered. But apparently Australia has a strict quarantine period no matter how healthy the animal is. Needless to say Amber took them back home while Johnny finished filming! Last I saw on Entertainment Tonight, the Australian govt. has a warrent out for Amber's arrest! If she ever goes back their, she can be arrested and go to jail! They had flown into Australia on a private plane so they didn't go through the airport. Tiny bit over the edge on the Australian govt. Australia will end up losing business in the end. The next time they film another pirates movie, Depp will see that it is made in a country where he can bring his wife AND his dogs!

That must have been some delicious meatballs?

those were some damn good meatballs

that meat ball must be so damn good

Is there a book about Arthur???

Just saw the Story...is Arthur still doin well ??anyone knows

the team left arthur after the competition because arthur wasnt able to make them win first place. He died in the jungle and was found by another team with multiplt wounds. I know it is terrible… but so is believing whatever I said :(

how old is Arthur?

the only problem could be from ecuador to sweeden maybe he is a little cold

A nice man is beautiful. Mary

Bless all your souls .... He's sent from ☝️ to make this world a peaceful place 🤘❤️🤘

👍👍👏👏😀😀🆒🆒
