The Serie Hawkeye It is surprising, because it is more entertaining than we expected. In fact, he is gaining followers with the good interpretations of his characters, the interesting story arc … and the new star of the show. Neither Jeremy Renner, nor Hailee Steinfeld, the real feeling is Lucky the Pizza Dog, accompanying the heroic duo on their adventures. We tell you what happened to his eye, how it connects with the comics and everything you need to know about Marvel’s new favorite character.
When Hawkeye had his own series, some of us wondered if Jeremy Renner, as Hawkeye, would have enough charisma to throw the story behind him. The truth is that he does not need it, Hailee Steinfeld is an excellent Kate Bishop, but, above all, there is Lucky, the Pizza Dog, one-eyed and that it picks up from the street.
If you’ve ever wondered what happened to him, and if this endearing character exists in the comics, this is the answer.
The difference between the dog in Hawkeye’s comics and the one in the series
If you are following the Hawkeye series, you will no doubt have been caught by the charisma of Lucky the Pizza Dog, a Golden retriever charming who is missing an eye.
In the series, the dog is rescued by Kate BishopHowever, in the comics, the story of Lucky is different.
His real name is Arrow and, according to the comic book plot, it belonged to Iván Banionis, a member of the “Tracksuit Mafia.” Mistreated, Hawkeye he befriended them, and when it came time to confront them, Arrow sided with Hawkeye, biting a mob member when he was going to shoot Hawkeye.
The dog paid a high price for his heroism, being seriously injured. But nevertheless, Hawkeye took him to the hospital and survived, although he lost his left eye. Barton rechristened it as Lucky, also nicknamed the Pizza Dog, since he loves that food.
In the paper adventures of Hawkeye and Kate Bishop, Lucky is a regular and, in fact, in one the comics teams up with Nancy Whitehead’s cat and they are fundamental in the defeat of the Taskmaster.
As a curiosity, a couple of issues of Hawkeye are counted from the perspective of Lucky. What’s more, the origin of the character is in the dog that Matt Fraction, one of the scriptwriters of the comics of Hawkeye, lost shortly before taking the reins of the character.
By the way, that dog was called Captain applejack.
Is Lucky the dog from the Hawkeye series really missing an eye?
For your peace of mind, no, the eye that the dog is missing from the show is done digitally in post-production. The actress bitch that appears in the episodes is called Jolt and it sees perfectly.
In fact, you can see her posing this charming in the photo above, without her famous one-eyed eye. The image was shared on Twitter by David Aja, comic creator.

It is clear that the greatest superpower of Lucky is to be a dog (which is already a lot) and steal every heart that crosses ahead, because it is becoming the sensation of the series.
