This Sunday, Ardeth De Vries will read from her book Old Dog Haven: Every Old Dog Has a Story to Tell. This event is copresented by Old Dog Haven, a local organization that rescues senior dogs (which are less likely to be adopted) from shelters and finds them loving homes to live out their lives. This group does wonderful work. I love seeing their posts on Facebook, the pictures and stories of the sweet pups they bail out of the clink are so fulfilling and heartwarming.

Ardeth De Vries reads Sunday, January 25, at Elliott Bay Book Company, 1521 10th Ave, 3 pm, free.
