CFE News is profiling catering’s cutest companions—the furry friends who bring joy to hospitality pros both on and off the clock. This week, Rachael Volz—CEO and owner of A Fare Extraordinaire, The Revaire, and Goodie Rentals in Houston, and a member of the CFE News Editorial Advisory Board—introduces us to Lucky, the sweet mini goldendoodle who lives up to his name.

How did you come up with Lucky’s name?
Gratitude is one of our family values, and Lucky felt like the perfect name for our first family dog.

How does Lucky make your life better?
Lucky brings so much joy to all of us. He encourages us to stop and cuddle, to get outside and smell the roses, and to enjoy our meals with presence and intention. He is absolutely the best dog with the best temperament we have ever met!

What’s one of your favorite ways Lucky interacts with the family?
Lucky travels with us almost everywhere we go and trades off sleeping in my kids’ beds. He is truly a family member!
