They immediately adopt him, and Lucky soon adjusts to the 'pampered pooch' lifestyle as he and his new-found parents discover the beauty and culture of Mexico. But they do not remain South of the Border forever, and are transferred back home to Southern California, Lucky, of course, in tow. For two years they enjoy the perfect beach life--with a little camping thrown in. However, this must end when they move again, this time to The Netherlands and London, where Lucky soon earns more stamps in his passport than most Americans as they explore Europe together.But Lucky's life is not always on the travel circuit. It also leads him to more kennels than he can count; a bullet in the chest; and a battle with cancer. But the little mutt always lives up to his name and is definitely considered winner of the 'doggie lotto' by all who meet him.
