Groucho Asks Please

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”  ~ Groucho Marx
            Today is the big day, and I’m so excited!  After several years of searching for an organization to partner with in helping abused and abandoned dogs, I’ve finally found Friends In Need Animal Sanctuary .
            I’m doing a fundraiser today on Amazon for this organization.  If you purchase Hazardous Hideaway TODAY (Wednesday, May 23rd), I will DONATE EVERYTHINGI make to help them.  You get a great read, and they get my money.  J  What could be better?  Please join with me to do a little good in the world.  Here’s the link on Amazon:  Hazardous Hideaway ebook .
            I don’t want anyone feeling depressed today, but I have included some animal abuse statistics below for you to consider.  In order to cheer you up after you’ve read them, I’ve also included a wonderful, easy recipe for Peanut Butter Dog Treats!  “Yummm,” says your dog.
  Animal Cruelty Statistics*:
Each year, 10,000 bull dogs die in bullfighting.13% of animal abuse involves domestic violence.70% of animal abusers also have records of other crimes.Approximately 5 million to 7 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, and approximately 3 million to 4 million are euthanized (60 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats). In the United States alone, 1.13 million animals are used in testing and research every year.* Continue reading at NowPublic.com: Animal Cruelty: Facts, Prevention, Statistics and Action | NowPublic News Coverage http://www.nowpublic.com/environment/animal-cruelty-facts-prevention-statistics-and-action-2886267.html#ixzz1vQviPFZi
