Lucky the poochipug

Pat and Howard London (pictured) read their new children’s book Lucky the Poochipug to the book’s namesake, Lucky. The Londons adopted Lucky from the Houston Humane Society after their beloved dog, Aggie, passed away. At the time, Lucky was battling heartworm disease and needed special care from his new humans and the veterinary staff at Houston Humane Society to make a full recovery. Pat and Howard were initially told that Lucky was a terrier mix, but after some doggy DNA testing, they discovered he is a mix of poodle, chihuahua, and pug…a poochipug. The couple authored the new book, dedicated to Lucky, and are donating a portion of book sales to the Houston Humane Society’s heartworm fund.
