Lucky -- birthdate unknown, left us on August 4 2024


Lucky was eight years old when I rescued him as an abandoned dog while on a road trip in Idaho with Bart in 2019. We adopted each other instantly and I immediately named him Lucky.

This is the day I rescued him:



This is in Des Moines five days later,
on the way home:




Here are eighteen pictures of Lucky
with Lucy and Aldo at their house:


Ten pictures from the fall of 2021:

Sometimes, when I came to pick up Lucky, he would sweetly resist leaving. He would say, "No, I think I'll just stay here." Below, is a picture from 2023 of one such instance. Lucy, Aldo and I were in the driveway, beckoning him to come and get in my truck:

In 2024, Bucky was (and still is) also
a regular at Lucy's and Aldo's house:
