People often call dogs loyal friends, but one golden retriever in China recently proved that they can also bring a bit of luck.
A woman surnamed Lin says her pet unexpectedly helped her win a lottery prize after choosing a ticket in the most surprising way possible.
What began as an ordinary outing soon turned into a story that spread across social media and captured the hearts of thousands.

A Bite That Changed Everything
On February 15, Lin was out shopping with her golden retriever when the dog suddenly slipped out of its leash and dashed into a nearby lottery shop.
By the time Lin caught up, the enthusiastic pup had already sunk its teeth into a scratch-off ticket, leaving clear bite marks across its surface.
Because the ticket was damaged, Lin was required to buy it. She had no idea her dog’s impulsive nibble was about to pay off.
When she scratched the ticket later, she discovered she had won 139 dollars. The surprise left her speechless.
She told AsiaOne that she had never won such a large amount before, making the moment feel even more unbelievable.

Testing the Dog’s Luck Again
The next day, Lin returned to the same lottery shop with one question in mind: could her dog be lucky twice?
She let the golden retriever pick another scratch-off card, and remarkably, the pup chose yet another winner.
This prize was smaller, just over four dollars, but the magical streak made the moment special all the same.
Instead of keeping the prize money, Lin decided to spend it on her furry companion. She bought the dog treats and canned food as a thank-you for its unexpected talent.

What started as an accidental bite became a charming tale of luck, laughter, and the special bond between a woman and her dog.
