Dogs, and especially puppies, can bound off unexpectedly and find themselves in a troubling or dangerous situation. When it becomes too much for Georgia and Adam to handle, they wisely call for professional help. A good lesson for kids on how easily things can go awry, knowing one's capabilities and being aware of further dangers and risks, and staying calm so as not to make the situation worse.

Georgia and her twin brother Adam are super excited because they’re mom and dad and Finally letting them have a puppy at last! When they go to the breeder, there is only one puppy left, but he turns out to be perfect for them. Georgia and Adam both decide that Lucky is the perfect name for him, and he immediately becomes a part of the family. Not long after Lucky’s arrival, the twins are going to the beach with their parents for summer break, and their puppy can come too! But when a squabble on the cliff results in an accident, Adam and Georgia must take action to save their beloved puppy. This tale is truly an amazing one. My favorite character is Georgia, and my favorite part is Lucky’s first time at the beach. Holly Webb is such a talented author, The Rescued Puppy should definitely be on you to be read list. ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️

This book shows how twins Adam and Georgia will do any thing for their puppy Lucky. Holly Webb did a good job on showing how frighted Adam and Georgia were when lucky was stuck on the cliff. It made me feel like my dog was stuck on the cliff. I could feel the exact same way as they did. During all there adventures with Lucky I felt like I was there with them because the emotion and details were so good. I liked how Webb put the story in third person because you can see how Adam, Georgia,and Lucky felt. I recommend this book to people how have pets or animal lovers because it shows the connection of two 9 year old twins and their dog. This book was very good and you should defiantly read it.

Book Nine of the Animal Stories series and the fifth one that I have read, and this one its another Dog story bringing the score to Dogs #3 Cats #2 All other Animals #0 - it is another cute story, and you will note that all the animals in these stories so far have been at the kitten or puppy stage - no room apparently for old hack dogs and cats.

Overall, it's A good story but it just has some depressing things in it. Adam and her twin sister Georgia's parents let them have A dog! But here's A warning, dogs aren't easy! The kids were not prepared for the beach vacation. Thankfully they named him Lucky! If my dogs Bruce and Maisie ran off. WE PAID FOR THEM MOTHER NATURE 😡!

I was planning on unhauling this book and wanted to read it at least once before I got rid of it so that it wasn’t a total waste of money and I’m glad that o did.

This is actually a really cute story with some good messages for kids. I would recommend to any new dog owners or younger kids as it’s really fun and sweet.

Lucky was such a cute puppy!
