Did you see “Lucky Dog” on Saturday?

TurfMutt’s owner Kris Kiser, who is also the president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), appeared on the Emmy Award-winning show, Lucky Dog, on Saturday.

Kris was in California to help a family discover if their yard had adequate living landscapes to accommodate their new dog, Odie. Odie is a rescue dog just like TurfMutt!

The episode is a tale of second-chances as Odie – a student of trainer Brandon McMillan – works to help Casey conquer her severe anxiety and go back to school. But before Casey’s family can bring Odie home, Kris has to help them ensure their yard is good for a dog, as well as the other family uses.

Did the family’s outdoor space pass the TurfMutt test? Watch the episode to find out!
