Sometimes our pets can get themselves into trouble, but every now and then, it can lead to something unexpectedly wonderful. That was precisely the case for one woman in Dongguan, China, when her golden retriever turned out to be her lucky charm.

On a shopping trip with her playful pup, named Lin, she found herself in a rather unexpected situation. Lin’s energetic dog managed to break free from his leash and dashed into a nearby lottery shop. By the time Lin caught up to him, he had already bitten into a scratch-off ticket, leaving her with no choice but to purchase it.

While it may have been an unplanned expense, fate had something extraordinary in store for Lin. She decided to scratch off the ticket that her mischievous dog picked, and to her amazement, she discovered that it was a winner. Lin had won 1,000 yuan, which is about $139 USD.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes,” Lin exclaimed. “I’ve never won such a large sum of money from a lottery before.”

Buoyed by her newfound luck, Lin and her golden retriever decided to try their luck again the following day. And guess what? Lightning struck twice! They won another 30 yuan (approximately $4.17 USD). Convinced that her dog was her good luck charm, Lin used part of her winnings to pamper her furry friend with treats and extra meals.

News of this incredible story spread like wildfire on local social media. People everywhere applauded the lucky dog and jokingly stated that they needed to get their own golden retriever to change their fortunes.

If only our dogs could be taught to fetch winning lottery tickets! 🤣 This golden retriever truly is worth his weight in gold! Share this unbelievable story if you adore dogs!
