From Lab to Love: A Conversation with Melanie D.G Kaplan
Join us at the Richmond SPCA for a special event with local author and journalist Melanie D.G. Kaplan as she discusses her new book, Lab Dog: A Beagle and His Human Investigate the Surprising World of Animal Research. Curious about her adopted beagle's past—and the broader world of animal research—Kaplan, alongside her former lab dog Hammy, embarks on a quest for answers. Equal parts journalism and love story, Lab Dog offers a nuanced view on our relationship with a species that we both love and exploit. Dr. Jane Goodall called the book “remarkable.”
Kaplan will be in conversation with former WRIC Investigative Reporter, Kerri O’Brien, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
Registration is required. Guests may purchase a $10 ticket, all of which will be donated to the Richmond SPCA; or a $45 ticket, which includes the donation plus a signed copy of Lab Dog. Books will also be available for purchase courtesy of Shelf Life Books.
Purchase your tickets today and learn how these precious animals went from a lab to loving homes. Well behaved dogs are welcome to join.
