'For The Love Of Dogs': This Author Is Celebrating International Dog Day With A Week-Long Party

GOOSE CREEK, S.C. - Aug. 23, 2024 - PRLog -- To mark the launch of The Man That Rescues Dogs' book, 'Home. Made.', TMTRD, publishers Witchcraft, and special guests are hosting a 'Virtual Dog-a-Thon: Together For The Love Of Dogs' on Facebook, with dog lovers worldwide welcome to enjoy the festivities and support dogs in need.

TMTRD is a dog sanctuary that provides life-saving care to over 1,000 stray, sick and paralyzed dogs (including the TikTok-famous 'Wheelchair Mafia'). Founder Michael J. Baines quit his job as a chef to open the Sanctuary in Thailand, after leaving behind a life of drug and alcohol addiction in Sweden - and has written his heartwarming memoir to raise funds for the Foundation.

Kicking off with a fascinating interview with Baines, the virtual event - supported by dog-loving, sustainable and socially-responsible dog brand partners Grounds & Hounds, Bark Pouch, ModernBeast, Kin+Kind, and Ropes For Rescues - will run on Facebook from International Dog Day on Monday, August 26 through Saturday, 31 August.

Throughout the week, dog lovers can enjoy exclusive interviews and readings (including a live Q&A session with author Baines), live streams from the TMTRD Sanctuary, giveaways and shopping experiences, cooking classes, and comedy sketches (courtesy of Must Love Dogs and Comedy - a 501(c)(3) organization on a mission to challenge the status quo of traditional comedy shows by combining punchlines and wagging tails for dog-friendly comedy shows that support animal rescue and wellness).

The book will be launched in the USA on International Dog Day (Mon, Aug 26) with social impact production company, Witchcraft at https://www.heywitchcraft.com. Whereas authors traditionally only receive 5-10% of book royalties, 70% of royalties will be donated back to the Foundation.

As part of the festivities, the Virtual Dog-a-Thon will also showcase the dog-loving brands and content creators that have partnered with Michael in commemoration of his book launch - all of whom are committed to creating a more sustainable and safe world for dogs and their people. Grounds & Hounds are an organic and eco-friendly specialty coffee company who donate to rescue initiatives, Bark Pouch make human-grade dog treats presented in easy-to-use, mess-free pouches, and support dog rescue shelters, ModernBeast produce contemporary, high quality pet products and donate profits to animal charities, Kin+Kind handcraft natural, organic and cruelty-free pet care products that benefit pets, people and the planet, and Ropes For Rescues create dog leashes from recycled climbing ropes, donating 10% of leashes to animal rescues of the climbers' choice.
