TurfMutt, Kris Kiser To Appear On Lucky Dog
A D.C. area rescue dog named Lucky and his owner, Kris Kiser, President and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) will appear this season on the Emmy Award-winning Lucky Dog show that airs Saturday mornings on CBS as a part of the ‘CBS Dream Team, It’s Epic’ block of programming.
The CBS show follows animal trainer Brandon McMillan, who rescues hard-to-love, out-of-control, untrained and unadoptable dogs. McMillan turns these pooches into perfect pets. In the end, a lucky family will adopt an even luckier dog, making each episode an adoption story that warms the heart.
Kiser 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.
Lucky the TurfMutt is a real live superhero who serves as the spokesdog for the OPEI Education & Research Foundation’s TurfMutt environmental stewardship and educational program by Scholastic, for children in grades K-5. The national program has reached more than 62 million children, educators and families since 2009 showing them how they can “save the planet, one yard at a time.”
Kiser explains, “It’s not just about having a lawn for your dog and your kids at all costs. It’s about having the right kind of yard, including a lawn, for the environment you are living in today.”
