Exhausted, covered in mud and desperately hungry, a team of Swedish athletes sat down for a meal as they prepared to take on a dangerous 20-mile trek through the Ecuadorian rainforest. 浑身是泥、精疲力竭的瑞士几名极限运动员在徒步穿越厄瓜多尔雨林的途中，准备坐下来吃点东西。 As they opened their canned meat, a tired Mikael Lindnord noticed a scruffy, miserable stray dog staring at him out of the corner of his eye. 当他们打开肉罐头开吃的时候，队员马克尔•林诺德看到一只邋遢可怜的流浪狗正盯着他看。 Feeling sorry for him, he fed the dog a meatball and thought nothing of it, but as the team stood up to continue their race the animal started to follow them - and he didn't stop. 马克尔看它很可怜就给了它一个肉丸子，之后就没再想这件事。但当马克尔他们整理队伍继续前行的时候，流浪狗却没想要离开的意思，并开始跟着他们。 As the group of four navigated the final two stages of the 430-mile Adventure Racing World Championship, the dog befriended them and was eventually given the name Arthur. 在马克尔一行四人参加的这项430英里（约700千米）探险越野世界锦标赛进行到还剩两个环节的时候，他们和这只流浪狗成为了朋友，并给它取名“亚瑟”。 Every grueling task the team face, Arthur would do the same. He swam alongside them while they kayaked down rivers, dragged himself up hills during hikes and pulled through knee-deep mud during treks. |
