Book Synopsis
From the bestselling author of Born to Run, a heartwarming story about training a rescue donkey to run one of the most challenging races in America, and, in the process, discovering the life-changing power of the human-animal connection.

A delight, full of heart and hijinks and humor. —John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog
