Gonker, a good boy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Netflix\u2019s Dog Gone<\/em> is based on a true story of a father and son who repair their fractured relationship during a forced hike of the Appalachian trail to find their beloved lost dog named Gonker<\/a>. This heartwarming story gained worldwide attention as people of all walks of life joined the search for the ailing mutt who had only days to live without his monthly medication.<\/p>\n

Gonker had Addison\u2019s disease, an adrenal insufficiency for which he required monthly shots. That meant the family had 23 days to find their pet, or he might slip into a coma. The family began a frantic search, with Fielding, the owner, and his father combing the trails while his mother Virginia set up a command center at home.<\/p>\n

The story was recounted in detail by Pauls Toutonghi, Marshall\u2019s brother-in-law, in a book<\/a> called Dog Gone: A Lost Pet\u2019s Extraordinary Journey and the Family Who Brought Him Home.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
