Lucky
was a remarkable dog who found Stephanie in 1985. He was so remarkable
that he decided to write the story of his not unremarkable life, so
he did and this is it. He was about 119 when he died but as old dogs
do, he had a lot of memories and his book is full of true stories which
actually happened, about himself and his friends. The dogs and people
he mentions really exist and most of them can be seen in Sutton Park
today. The places he writes about are also real and it’s possible
to trace the twists and turns of his life by reading his book. Lucky
was a dog with attitude and opinions on almost everything. he introduces
each story, using his own words and although his views on his friends
are, he thinks honest, he’s not always as tactful as he might have
been.
Lucky’s life is illustrated by Anna, Stephanie’s daughter.
She and Lucky were very close and she was there when many of the events
he describes took place. Anna is now a Children’s Book Illustrator.
