Fictional character biography
Hawkeye (2012)
Lucky the Pizza Dog is first introduced in this series. In the first issue Hawkeye saves this dog from the "tracksuit mafia", and then goes to adopt him. The dog's tag identified it by the name "Arrow", but Hawkeye chose to rename it "Lucky". Lucky gets an issue of the comic devoted to his point of view, in which it is revealed that he thinks of himself by the name of "Pizza-Dog".
During the series, when Kate moves to LA, Lucky goes with her, and aids her in finding work as well as figuring out where she is meant to be. When they return to New York, he is the one to give Hawkeye the 'Boomerang Arrow'. In the final issue Lucky the Pizza Dog is seen to be shot by a member of the track suit mafia but fortunately survives. Lucky is later shown alive and bandaged when Hawkeye's friends are gathered in his apartment as well as when Hawkeye picks up the telephone.
All New Hawkeye
As of issue #3 (Which is chronologically after the events of "Hawkeye (2012)"), Pizza dog has been seen briefly, confirming to the audience that he is indeed not dead, however he has not had as much time as he did in "Hawkeye (2012)"
