The alarm of my Mercedes Benz went screaming into alert mode. I hustled back to the four door sedan to find no Lucky!!!

What would you do if someone you truly loved was taken? To what lengths would you travel? How far into danger would you venture to get a member of your family back?

Lucky, the most famous dog in all of Sonora, Mexico was dog napped on March 1st, 2014. Was it a prank gone bad by teenagers? Did it involve the ruthless Sinaloa Drug Cartel, deadliest in the world? Or was it just a lowlife dog thief?

Mexico Got Lucky shares the true, epic story of how the State of Sonora, Mexico and communities of San Carlos, Guaymas, Hermosillo, Empalme and Obregon came together to try to locate Lucky's captors, free Lucky from harms way, and get him into Jim Kawaguchi's arms. Mexicans, Americans, Canadians, and the Consulate of Hermosillo joined forces in an attempt to solve the greatest mystery of dog theft in Mexico's history.
