Online book reading event for dogs

I've received notification of an interesting online event you may want to take part in:

ACTOR TAYE DIGGS HOSTS A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND VIRTUAL BOOK READING EVENT . . . FOR DOGS!

Real Dogs and Their Owners Invited to Enjoy a Good Dose of

 Canine Common Sense from 20 Celebrated “Paw-thors”
- Diggs to Read Excerpts from Newly Released ALPO®Real Dogs Eat Meat” Handbook -
 
WHAT:                 Real dogs across America and their owners are invited to participate in a first-of-its-kind virtual book-reading event.  Hosted by award winning actor and dog lover Taye Diggs, the book reading celebrates the release of the ALPO® “Real Dogs Eat Meat” Handbook, a how-to manual written by 20 “paw-thors” that is designed to help dogs get back to the business of being dogs.  Mr. Diggs will read excerpts from the handbook to an audience of real dogs at an event in the Meatpacking District in Manhattan.  The book reading will stream live on www.ALPORealDogs.com so real dogs everywhere can enjoy the mud-covered musings of their canine kin.
                               
                                Enough with doggie spas and designer sweaters!  That’s the message that real dogs dish out in the ALPO “Real Dogs Eat MeatHandbook which features stories (ghost written by the “paw-thors’ owners) about life’s simple pleasures such as chasing sticks, burying bones and drooling for dinner.  The “paw-thors,” including Hank, Bear, Thor and 17 other candid canines, won a national photo/essay contest that searched for real dogs as part of an ALPO movement to celebrate a more common sense approach to pooch pampering. 
WHEN:                 Wednesday, May 19, 2010
                                10:00 a.m. EST
                                ** To participate in the virtual event, please register at www.ALPORealDogs.com
