It's hard to say what this could have been. Maybe just a weird thing Lucky did, a seizure, a fainting episode, etc. I would say if he is back to his normal self, then don't worry about it much. But if these episodes continue or he has other abnormal behaviors or symptoms, you should call your vet.

We cannot answer this question for you without knowing what his underlying problem is. Even though he seems back to normal, the behavior he exhibited was extremely abnormal and I don't think you should assume it is nothing just because he seems better now. Whether you want to take him tonight or tomorrow that is up to you; we cannot make that call for you. You know your dog best, if you are worried you should take him to the ER.
