Dog-Friendly Book Launch for Social Animals by Camille Perri

Bring your pup!

About the book:

Three women. One dog park. Things are about to get messy.

Val Caruso, Alex Reed, and June Kennerson come from completely different worlds—Val is a tough-talking private investigator; Alex is reticent, nervous and on the run from her past; and June is an athlete turned housewife whose true love is her pup.

When Val is hired by June’s husband to find out if June is cheating on him, it sets these three women on a collision course. Amid a colorful cast of characters who spend time at the shabby but beloved Hamilton Dog Park, they find they have more in common than they thought. Soon June is brave enough to aim for what she wants, Alex finds excitement she never expected, and Val is reluctantly opening her heart to the most high-maintenance dog she’s ever met. But when their secrets catch up with them, will their newfound friendships be able to withstand the pressure? Or will they find themselves in the doghouse?

Social Animals is a funny and sharp social commentary on community, privilege, dog ownership, and the ultimate power of finding your people (and your pets).

Calling all dog moms and dog lovers 🐶💓

Whether you have a pup of your own or simply love being around dogs, join us for a free community walk in collaboration with Village Tails to support Rescue City, a local foster-based dog rescue.

We’ll meet at 14th Street Park near the West Side Highway and enjoy a 30-minute waterfront stroll together before ending at the Tribeca Dog Run. At the end of our walk, we’ll have treats from Spot & Tango for the pups and complimentary coffee from @thejolenecoffee for everyone joining us.

In the spirit of giving back, Girls Who Meet will donate $1 for every person who signs up for the walk, up to $350. Village Tails will also donate an additional $1 for every dog who joins us. Simply by showing up, you’ll be helping support rescue dogs while spending time outdoors with an amazing community of women. Come solo or bring a friend.

Either way, you’ll meet new people, enjoy plenty of puppy time, and be part of a great cause. In case of rain, we’ll communicate a new date to all registered attendees.

Location:
W 14th St &, 10th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA
