\nThe second installment of the \u201cLucky\u2019s Adventures\u201d children\u2019s book series has been released from author Elizabeth Macy.
\n\u201cLucky\u2019s Adventure in Winter Wonderland\u201d follows Lucky and 13 of her dog friends as they enjoy winter fun, recognize the good fortune of their lives and decide to give back to a local animal rescue shelter.
\n\u201cThe inspiration from the first book, \u2018Lucky\u2019s Adventure in Saratoga\u2019, was based on a true story. Lucky was lost in Saratoga Springs for four days,\u201d said Macy. \u201cThe community was so supportive. It was all over Facebook and social media, and the community really helped find her. It was a wonderful story that I wanted to share about my hometown.\u201d
\nThe new book features many familiar landmarks from the city.
\n\u201cI adopted Lucky about three and a half years ago through Capital District Humane Society. I work a lot with (local animal rescue organization) H.O.P.E. here in the area,\u201d said Macy. Lucky is a small, white yorkie terrier mix.
\nMacy is a professional photographer by trade. Her studio, Image Photo, is located in Saratoga Springs.
\n\u201cI never even considered writing a book before. It was just such a wonderful story, I felt I needed to share it with other people,\u201d said Macy.
\n\u201cIn the second book, \u2018Lucky\u2019s Adventure in Winter Wonderland\u2019, the dogs bring coats and toys to the rescue shelter. They make new friends, and they help them get adopted. It\u2019s really all about friendship and kindness, giving back in the community, and bringing awareness to rescues. That\u2019s what was really important to me,\u201d said Macy.
\n\u201cLucky and her doggie friends have a fun winter adventure, skating, skiing and snowshoeing. Lucky realizes she is very lucky and has so many great friends, and was rescued. She decides she wants to give back, and all the dogs visit a rescue shelter,\u201d said Macy.
\n\u201cWe ended up with five rescue dogs in the book. I couldn\u2019t choose just one,\u201d said Macy.
\nOne local canine, Murray Murphy, of Glens Falls, was one of five rescue dogs who won the contests to be included in \u201cLucky\u2019s Adventure in Winter Wonderland.\u201d The dog came into some fame in 2018, when he was nationally recognized by Thomas\u2019 English Muffins as their number one fan. The dog is owned by Emily Murphy, director of the Charles R. Wood Theater in Glens Falls.
\nMacy has written a third installment in the series, which will feature Lucky on a camping adventure. The book will be released in early 2020.
\nJenn Kocsmiersky illustrated the book. Saratoga Springs Publishing published the book.
\nA donation from each book sale is made to rescue shelters.
\nLocal bookstores carry the \u201cLucky\u2019s Adventures\u201d series. The books can also be found on the series\u2019 website, www.luckysadventures.net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
