This is just a sample of the wisdom that author and canine therapy pioneer Meg Daley Olmert will be sharing in a conversation with Craig Fuller at the Avalon on April 30th at 6 pm. In short, Meg makes the point that people should not take their dogs for granted if they truly want to get the full benefit of these special creatures.
Make a plan to hear more about her work on how dogs are changing the lives of not only your average dog owner, but also how canine therapy is having dramatic results in treating men and women suffering from PTSD. And for the first time at the Avalon, it will be welcoming dogs (the well-behaved kind) and their owners in the main theatre, where there will be room for everyone.
Tickets are $25, and they can be purchased here or by calling the Avalon at 410.822.7299. Proceeds of the event will support the Spy and Avalon with their public affairs programming. Meg will be selling and signing her book after the event.

Dogs are an amazing source of comfort for an everyday family to those who are dealing with the stress from illness or trauma. The loss of a dog is equally challenging and their longevity is often a characteristic of a specific breed. The Morris Animal Foundation out of Colorado has been conducting a 10+ year health study on Golden Retrievers. The study began with 3000+ Goldens who were selected and referred to as Hero Dogs. Now, with over ten years having passed by, less than half of the Heroes are still with us, but the collected health information has been a valuable resource in learing about cancer in canines. May 9th and 10th at the semi-annual https://deweysgoldenjubilee.com/ in Dewey Beach, DE all socially friendly dogs are allowed full run of the beach to celebrate life. Saturday night features a group campfire.
