News – Discovery Elementary PTO

Discovery Elementary was thrilled to welcome author Dion Leonard and his rescue dog, Gobi, to our school this week! Students were beyond excited to meet the author of Finding Gobi, a heartwarming story about how Dion and Gobi found each other during a challenging marathon in the Gobi Desert.

Dion shared the inspiring true story of how he rescued Gobi, a stray dog who ran alongside him during the race, and their bond grew into a beautiful friendship. The students were captivated by Dion’s journey and loved hearing about the adventures of Gobi, who was also present for the visit, stealing the show with his lovable charm!

It was a truly special moment for the kids to meet both the author and the dog they had read about in class. Finding Gobi is a book about resilience, compassion, and the unexpected friendships that change our lives, and the students couldn’t have been more excited to meet the real-life stars of the story.

Thank you, Dion and Gobi, for sharing your incredible journey with us!
