132: Virtual Book Tour, Laura Schenone reads from The Dogs of Avalon; Harold The Lazy Vegan

Pawprint | animal rescue podcast for dog, cat, and other animal lovers

Laura Schenone reads from The Dogs of Avalon and Harold discusses his ten-month journey as a first-time vegan and the positive impact on his health.

Laura’s book goes on sale Tuesday, August 22, 2017.

The Dogs of Avalon introduces us to the strong-willed Marion Fitzgibbon, born in rural Ireland, where animals are valued for their utility. But Fitzgibbon believes suffering is felt by all creatures and champions the cause of strays, baffling those around her—including her family—as she, and a group of local women rescue any animal in need, taking on increasingly risky missions.

Notes

Some of my favorite vegan dishes are bean and rice burritos, lentil soup, falafel wraps, hummus, miso ramen, vegetarian potstickers, fried rice, french fries (in moderation), almond butter and jelly sandwiches, fresh fruits and vegetables, green smoothies, and asian tofu and veggie stir-frys.
