This film is based on the true story of Mikael Lindnord in 2016 who found Arthur, a dog that crossed the forest to find a home. Mikael Lindnord is the captain of the Peak Performance team and has been racing professionally since 1997. Mikael found Arthur while participating in the Adventure Racing World Championship, which passed through the 430-mile Amazon rainforest track.
As a team sport, adventure racing is a race that is based on every continent except Antarctica. The competition often features more than one sport, including mountain biking, hiking, or even rafting. Each race competition has a different location, and each race certainly has its own surprises, something that Mikael learned during the race in Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, in the upcoming film.
Mikael and Arthur met during the 2014 Adventure Racing World Championship. While racing with his team, Mikael encountered a stray dog. The dog was severely injured, but it followed Mikael and his team throughout the rest of the race. Mikael decided to name the dog Arthur. Before meeting Mikael, Arthur had suffered an injury before accompanying Mikael in the race, knowing this, Mikael and his team took him to a veterinarian to get immediate treatment.

Mikael Lindlord retired in 2015, after retirement he wrote several books about himself as a racer and the story of Arthur the dog that he found.These books became the basis for the film that will be released in 2024, and another book titled Arthur and Friends: The Incredible Story of a Rescue Dog, and How Our Dogs Rescue Us, which was published in 2017.Not long after the race ended in 2014, Arthur was allowed to return home with the Swedish racing team after undergoing treatment and being quarantined for 4 months.Finally, Arthur joined Mikael to live with Mikael's family in Sweden.
After Arthur was adopted by Mikael, a man named Vicente Quinonez appeared in the Ecuadorian newspaper El Comercio claiming to be Arthur's rightful owner.Quinonez demanded compensation to get another pet by claiming that Mikael kidnapped Arthur from his original family.This caused a strong reaction against Quinonez and made animal activists start threatening him.Eventually, he withdrew out of fear for the safety of his family.
In 2015, Arthur raced again with Mikael in the Wings for Life World Run in Kalmar, Sweden. As time went on, Mikael founded The Arthur Foundation in 2014, which focuses on giving more rights to stray dogs living in Ecuador, including dog adoption and promoting animal welfare. Unfortunately, in December 2020, Mikael announced through his Instagram account that Arthur had passed away due to a malignant tumor shortly before the filming of ARTHUR THE KING began.
