Lucky's fosterer writes...
Lucky is truly a very lucky boy. Someone left him in a fenced in area without any food or water. When he was found, he was only 37 pounds, which is 20 or 25 pounds under what his body weight should be. Although people have let him down in the past, Lucky doesn't hold it against anyone. He loves everyone and shows every day that he is so happy to be alive and to now be loved by his foster family. He is currently 45 pounds and is steadily gaining weight and muscle. He will always be a "miniature Rottweiler" because of the neglect he suffered, but he is absolutely a beautiful guy. We couldn't believe how gorgeous his coat is after a couple of baths and some food in his belly.
In addition to his good looks, Lucky has an amazing personality. He loves to play fetch or just throw a ball up in the air to himself (watch the video of Lucky having a great time). He plays well with dogs big and small, or if a dog isn't interested in playing, he is a gentleman and doesn't disturb them. He also gets along with cats, as he met and seemed just fine with the resident cat at the veterinarian's office. He isn't all about playing though; he loves to just sit by the feet of his foster family and relax with a good belly rub.
You will truly feel very lucky, if you make Lucky part of your life!
