I know the idiom itself is not rude but is it rude to call someone you don't know very well a lucky dog?
- I didn't know you got a promotion. What a lucky dog you are! (coworker probably)

Not rude at all.
But it's usually used a bit jokingly, and for something where there was luck involved rather that hard work.
1. You're going to Hawaii? You lucky dog!
