About this listen
Slumdog Millionaire meets Forrest Gump
In 2018, under a full moon in the remote Mantiqueira mountain range in Brazil, a sickly stray dog chose to follow a runner during the Brazil 135 ultramarathon. He stayed by his side for 140 miles.
Fast forward to 2021, when Lucky the stray, now living the life in Florida, set off with his ultrarunner soulmate, David Green, on the journey of their lives — a four-month run covering 3,400 miles from Jacksonville Beach, Florida, to Muir Beach, California. Their route took them through a nation ravaged by Covid-19 and still reeling from the most toxic presidential election in history. An RV became their nightly retreat-on-wheels, captained by Chris, an affable chef from Brooklyn, who would provide so much more than food.
This is David’s honest account, his love letter to Lucky, after three short years together, during which time they inspired each other to break barriers of what is thought possible for dogs and humans -- physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

A true and human story for the ages!
I loved this book and grew to appreciate the interaction between Lucky, David and Chris. I laughed and smiled constantly and cried as well. Lucky’s pack was a trio that needed each other. If you love dogs, you will love this book and if you enjoy stories of the human (and dog) spirit then this is an adventure for you.
Thank you David for sharing your story! I need to meet you and thank you in person for the time well spent!

A journey of a lifetime
What an amazing heartfelt story by David, Lucky, Chris. David brings his whole self to tell the story sharing the love and support to all those who are part of their lives and become part of their lives as they run across many lonely pavements, mountains, and grassy roads.
A Story of persistence and the value of one more day with your loved ones or better yet, the value of another day::: one step at a time.
Thanks David for keeping me company during my runs and I too put my left palm to the side to feel Lucky.
In wholesome gratitude, Mel
