Latke, the Lucky Dog is a 2014 holiday-themed children's picture book written by Ellen Fischer and illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke. The story is about a mixed-breed dog, named Latke, who is adopted from an animal shelter for a Hanukkah present.
About
Latke, the Lucky Dog is told from the perspective of a mixed-breed dog named Latke (named so, because he is the same color as a latke). Latke was adopted from an animal shelter as a present for Hanukkah for siblings Zoe and Zach. Latke assumes that the Hanukkah food and presents are for him. During the story, Latke makes mistakes and messes, but is forgiven each time and at the end, decides he is "one lucky dog to be part of a great family." The story also includes a page dedicated to describing Hanukkah customs and background.
