Lucky Dog is a heartwarming and educational television show that premiered on CBS in 2013. The show stars animal trainer Brandon McMillan, who rescues and rehabilitates dogs in order to find them their forever homes. The show is hosted by Michael Berger, and co-hosted by Eric Wiese.

Each episode of Lucky Dog follows a similar format, beginning with McMillan receiving a call about a dog in need of help. He then goes to the shelter to meet the dog and assess its behavior and needs. McMillan uses his years of experience as a professional animal trainer to work with the dog, teaching it basic obedience skills, socializing it with other dogs and people, and addressing any behavioral issues that may be preventing it from being adopted.

Throughout the process, McMillan uses positive reinforcement and trust-building techniques to form a bond with the dog. He also involves the dog's potential adopters in the training process, teaching them how to continue the training once they take the dog home. This not only helps to ensure the dog's long-term success in its new home, but it also educates viewers on proper dog training and care.

McMillan's work on Lucky Dog is not only focused on each individual dog, but also serves as a larger advocacy for shelter animals. He often emphasizes the importance of adopting animals from shelters rather than purchasing them from breeders or pet stores, and he highlights the numerous benefits of rescuing animals in need.

The show's hosts, including Berger and Wiese, provide narration and commentary throughout each episode. They add a personal touch to the show's stories, sharing their own experiences with rescued animals and the impact that animals can have on people's lives.

Overall, Lucky Dog is a wholesome and uplifting show that appeals to all ages. It offers a unique blend of entertainment and education, as viewers watch McMillan work his magic with each dog while also learning important lessons about animal welfare and responsible pet ownership. The show's emphasis on adoption and rescue is a refreshing change from the typical reality TV fare, and its positive message is one that resonates with viewers of all backgrounds.

Lucky Dog is a series that ran for 12 seasons (291 episodes) between September 28, 2013 and on CBS
