We ate dog biscuits to help raise money for Oregon Humane Society’s Doggie Dash!

Here’s how the Biscuit Challenge works: Dog lovers share on social media videos of themselves eating dog biscuits. In the videos, they nominate dog-loving friends who must, within 72 hours, either eat a dog biscuit (and share a video of the event on social media) or donate to Oregon Humane Society’s Doggie Dash!

The goal is to raise $550,000 for the Doggie Dash, which takes place May 9 in Portland.

Watch our video and find out who we nominated here:

As we mention in the video, we love to support Oregon Humane. We donate some of the proceeds of our book sales to the organization, which rescues dogs and other animals from all over the country! Stay tuned for a story by Lisa about all that Oregon Humane does–and why so many people want to volunteer there.

To date, we’ve raised more than $700 for the Oregon Humane Society, with the help of our illustrator, Heather Nichols, and people who buy our books and audiobook. We urge our readers to consider donating to this organization, which does so much for pets across the US!

In the video, Michael, age 6, is wearing a dog costume–a Scooby-Doo costume, to be exact. Also featured is our dog, Hudson, who isn’t allowed to eat dog biscuits because–like many golden retrievers, he has a sensitive stomach. We make home-made food for Hudson to keep him healthy.

Can you tell we’re dog lovers? Our “Bash and Lucy” project began when our dog, Lucy, died suddenly of cancer at age 6. She didn’t give us any clue she was sick. We missed her so much and were so overwhelmed by her bravery and goodness; we decided to help teach kids all about all these selfless, heroic, funny and loving best friends through our books, blog and school visits.
