Team Peak Performance were sat down for a meal before a 20 mile trek in Ecuador when they saw a stray dog. Swedish group were taking part in the Adventure Racing World Championship through the Amazon rain forest. 

Mikael Lindnord fed the animal a meatball before the team carried on but the scruffy creature followed them.They tried to get rid of him, primarily for his own safety, but he refused to go so he became a fifth team member.

"I came to Ecuador to win the World Championship. Instead, I got a new friend'.
