At least in this one, Lucky is having the time of his life!

So the story of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe One That Got Away\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is that in her steampunk world, two guys thought that it would be a great idea to strap a steam-powered propeller-driven backpack onto their dog and turn him into a drone. Unfortunately though, one of them has dropped the leash while the dog is in the air. Therefore, the quilt depicts the exact moment that the leash gets dropped, hence \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe One That Got Away\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.
