Anaheim, Calif.-"Lucky" (ISBN1463777566), a special illustrated children's book by Craig S. Inglis, follows an irrepressible terrier and it's compassionate owner who work together to find happiness after an unfortunate accident.
Sensing something is missing in his life, a man goes to a pet store and finds a new friend. A lovable terrier, he names the dog Lucky and the pair is soon inseparable. Lucky leans how to fetch, sit, rollover and beg and enjoys walks in the park. Everything was perfect until one day when Lucky darts in the street and is accidentally hit by a car. He is rushed to the animal hospital where the friendly veterinarian saves his life but is unable to fix one of Lucky's legs. The injury would change Lucky's life as he adjusted to moving and playing with only three legs.
