A sweet and touching story of a Human who was rescued by Lucky the dog. In the nick of time and Lucky found his forever home. Lucky tells his story in a well written and entertaining short story and I want more! I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loves dogs.

Awww Sweet Lucky!

A Lucky Life was such a heartwarming story and told from Lucky's POV. Lucky was literally a last minute rescue making him not only lucky but blessed as well. Thank goodness Bob arrived when he did. Lucky is such a cutie too. I loved hearing his story and the message was wonderful. "Don't take stuff from dog haters". I'm a pet parent of a giant breed rescue and I've had my share of "stuff" from people.

I really enjoyed Bob Soltys's story. It was unique in its own way. I hope more people listen and decide to adopt a dog or any pet rather than buy. I think it's so true that they rescue us as much as we rescue them.

A touching story about a great dog
I was gifted this audio ARC from the author for a honest and unbiased review
Well, Lucky is one smart dog! This little Jack Russell really comes to life on the pages.
Don't forget to have some tissues handy, there are also lots of humor sprinkled throughout the book.
This is a sweet and touching story of a Human who was rescued by Lucky the dog. Just in the nick of time before going to the gallows, Lucky finds his forever home. The story tells the story from Lucky's point of view.
I want more! I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loves dogs.
Bob Soltys did a fabulous job of writing and narrating his book about his dog Lucky. Btw I think Bob was one lucky human to be adopted by Lucky

A touching story about a great dog.

What did you love best about A Lucky Life?

Well, Lucky is one smart dog! He really comes across as a 3-dimensional character.
Humor is sprinkled through out, but don't forget the Kleenex.

What other book might you compare A Lucky Life to and why?

A Dog's Life, like this story, is told from the dog's perspective.

What about Bob Soltys’s performance did you like?

Since he's Lucky's Dad, his love for him shines through with a good voice that is strong and clear.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

More often than not, you'll be smiling while you read, but there are some emotional stories.
