1 1 y separately published work icon Lucky Goes to Sea Frank Robson , Pymble : HarperCollins Australia , 2010 Z1691342 2010 single work autobiography travel 'In Lucky for Me, Frank Robson and his partner, Leisa Scott, rescued Lucky, a mischievous, cream-coloured terrier from Death Row, and embraced him as the third member of their high-spirited, boat-mad family. Now, Frank relates how a curse seems to hover over the three of them as they try to set out on their long-planned, open-ended cruise. Instead of the adventure of a lifetime, there is bad weather outside, bad blood on board, and bad luck besetting them at every turn. But when the trio do finally escape land, there are beautiful islands to explore and plenty of escapades to be had with a motley crew of colourful characters, crocodiles, feral cats, sharks, snakes, and even a new love interest for Lucky. Lucky Goes to Sea will take you on an unforgettable journey, with a four-legged hero guaranteed to make you laugh and steal your heart.' (From the publisher's website.)

1 2 y separately published work icon Lucky For Me Frank Robson , Pymble : HarperCollins Australia , 2007 Z1409589 2007 single work autobiography travel At eighteen months of age, Lucky, a cream-coloured terrier, was dropped off at a vets clinic in Queensland, abandoned by his owners and suffering from ticks and other terrors. A week from being put down he was adopted by Frank Robson and his partner, Leisa. From the start, the fluffy new member of the household proved an enigma, displaying a twelve-snort vocabulary, an ability to climb trees (the better to chase parrots) and a disdain for suburbia. In this full-blooded account of a friendship between man and dog, Robson puzzles on the sentient being who trotted into his life and taught him about survival, mateship and the joys of an independent spirit.
