"Lucky is an adorable dog living at a local animal shelter. He has everything he needs - food, water, friends and a comfortable bed. But what he would really like is a loving home. As Lucky watches his friends being adopted to good homes, he wonders if he will ever find a family of his own - until he realizes that family is where you find it, and his lives at the shelter.
This is a charming story that will no doubt inspire a child to want a shelter pet, and that's a good thing. The colorful illustrations and simple text by Gus Clarke will delight younger children, but it is the fact that a percentage of the proceeds from the book go to benefit FOCAS, Friends of County Animal Shelters, that will please adults. And that is a great thing." - Curled Up Kids
"Lucky is a shelter dog that gives readers a dog's-eye-view of life in the pound. Luckily for Lucky the shelter owners are kind and sometimes "they bring people around to see if we'd like to go and live with them." Bernard, another pound hound, wants to be adopted but no one seems to want him. Lucky and the other pooches hatch a plot to help Bernard find a family. A warm and enjoyable tale." - Education Oasis
"This story for animal lovers is lively and inspirational, expressing an encouraging outcome for dogs that live in the pound." - CSCL Picture Book Reviews
