THE UNIVERSE INVITES US TO DINNER…
While working on two separate pet projects, Be the Change for Animals (BTC) and Bark Out Loud Weekly (BOLW), I got an email from The Honest Kitchen (THK), makers of dehydrated, human-grade whole foods for dogs and cats, saying they’ll donate a percentage of this month’s online proceeds to BAD RAP, the organization responsible for evaluating, rescuing and rehabilitating the dogs from the Michael Vick case. And, THK will double their donation if they reach 40K Facebook followers by the end of March. Like The Honest Kitchen’s Facebook Page to support BAD RAP. Seriously. It’s that easy!
A TASTY BOWL OF ALPHABET SOUP
So, BOLW just interviewed Donna Reynolds and Tim Racer, the down-to-earth co-founders of BAD RAP and released the podcast on Friday, the same day I got word of THK’s BAD RAP donation. And THK’s donation campaign fits perfectly with BTC’s mission to take action for animals in need by spending just a few moments and never a cent. Not only that, but Amy and I, co-founders of BTC, serve all our dogs from THK and are members of The Honest Kitchen’s Allies Program, receiving discounts on the THK nutritional, human grade dog food we already feed our animals.
Why not blend these tasty treats together into a single serve initiative?
Well, we did … and for such a great cause!
THE GOOD WORK OF BAD RAP’S PIT BULL EDUCATION
BAD RAP, co-founded by Donna Reynolds and Tim Racer, has been instrumental in the evaluation, rescue and rehabilitation of the dogs in the Michael Vick case, providing vision and hope for these dogs as well as many other dogs from high-profile federal dog fighting arrests. They also rescue pit bulls, teach award-winning classes in the San Francisco Bay Area and support rescues nationwide.

So much important information here. I will definitely try to catch the chat tonight. I will help spread the word.
Thanks, Peggy, for spreading the word through your blog posts. It was such a help! The Bark Out Loud Weekly page was shared 364 times on Facebook and lots of those people listened to the podcast, which is where so much valuable information was learned. It was a beautiful convergence of effort. I'm so glad you were part!
