Dog Friendships

Mr. Lucky. I am 16 years old and
I am a Rat Terrier mix. I am the
oldest of a family of three. I have two sisters who
I adore and who are jealous of me because they
know I am mom’s favorite. I am an adopted dog
and I am very grateful for my mom being a
public servant who advocates for my fellow
four-legged friends. She has helped build an
animal shelter, led the creation of the District
Attorney’s Animal Cruelty Division and was
instrumental in bringing the “Home for Hounds”

spending time with my mom, going for walks,
receiving belly rubs, and doing everything I want.

to keep reading to learn more about my two
younger sisters.

Shepherd sister. She is the middle child in our
family and is Papi’s little girl and also his favorite.

parks. Sometimes she is really shy and suffers
from anxiety, so her big brother and sister are
