Happy National Dog Day!
Thank you, Christopher X. Shade, for donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of The Good Mother of Marseille to Bideawee in honor of Chinelo.
*Bideawee is a no-kill shelter established in 1903 in New York City after the founder witnessed the work of Barrone d’Herpents Dog Refuge in Paris, a humane group which sent an ambulance all over the city to pick up stray and unwanted dogs. Instead of being destroyed, they were cared for until they could be placed in new homes.
**Chinelo the dachshund is a well-loved character in The Good Mother of Marseille.
