Kris Kiser, President and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), and his adopted dog Lucky, the “TurfMutt,” are on a mission to educate viewers on ways to create environmentally–responsible living landscapes that families and pets can enjoy. In drought-stressed areas – having a living landscape for a pet and family is not a given. But there are ways to be water-responsible and reap the benefits of a living landscape for your family and pet.

Rescue dog Lucky and his owner, Mr. Kiser, will appear on the Emmy Award-winning “Lucky Dog” show that airs Saturday mornings on CBS. The first episode aired Saturday Nov 7th, 2015. At the end of each show, a lucky family will adopt an even luckier dog, making each episode an adoption story that warms the heart!
