Lucky for me by Frank Robson

At the tender age of 18 months a 5 kg little pocket rocket terrier who was to be named Lucky was abandoned at a Queensland vet clinic. He was suffering badly from tick paralysis and pneumonia. After lots of TLC and veterinary care he managed to pull through. Unable to be found a home he was to be put down within the week. Fortunately, into his life came a couple called Frank and Leisa who adopted him. From then on life would be one big adventure for the 3 of them. Frank and Leisa were both journalists, whose great passion in life was sailing. So Lucky learned to be a part time land lubber and a seadog in the literal sense. He also learned very quickly how to rule the roost and show that even if you don’t have a voice 12 distinctive snorts can still make your feelings very known to whomever you should meet – human, dog, puffer fish, parrot or cat.
The book is really funny and has lots of great stories about what it’s like to love a dog, and what sort of joy a dog can bring to your life. It also shows that sometimes being allowed to be an individual and a free spirit can make life a lot more fun, if you’re a dog or a human.
This was a great read full of laughs. Even if you’re not a dog person you can still appreciate the funny side of life which is talked about quite a lot in this book.
