lucky dog
Envied blessed one
A lucky dog is someone who has encountered good fortune, especially fortune that others envy.
The phrase carries affectionate exasperation rather than resentment: You got tickets to the sold-out show? You lucky dog!
The dog here suggests a rascal who doesn't quite deserve his luck but gets it anyway.
