Seond Life Concert to Benefit Real Life Dogs

Bound Angels Blog

There’s a great event happening this weekend to benefit Smiling Dog Farms. We all know that Jay and Ricky care for the dogs that no one else will take… NO ONE. They are dead dogs without the love and attention that Jay and Ricky provide. This weekend Second Life and Grateful Stryker, a personal friend of mine is holding the second annual “Day for Lucas.” Lucas was my first rescue ever, an old pitbull – sharpei mix that was discarded at the LA shelter. I was determined to save him, and only Jay stepped up. Jay cared for him and allowed the old man to die with dignity in Jays own bed. For this alone I will always be grateful to Jay.

Please check out the event.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Real Life Meets Second Life; A WEEKEND FOR LUCAS BENEFIT for THE SMILING DOG FARMS November 29th and 30th.

With the innovation of the Internet comes the virtual world, Second Life. Second Life is a 3d virtual world environment that allows people from all over the world to meet and chat and interact.

The live music scene in Second Life has become something of it’s own innovation. Music companies are looking and listening.

Lucas was a dog that was rescued from certain death over a year ago by Robert Cabral from www.boundangels.org. Lucas was abused and neglected most of his life. Finally, Jay Hellerich from The Smiling Dog Farms, was contacted and agreed to take Lucas. Lucas sadly passed away since but we know that his last days were his best ones. In his honor we have created this wonderful event. All proceeds going to www.smilingdogfarms.com.

Smiling Dog Farms is a private animal sanctuary that survives solely on donations. Their efforts to save lives is truly rare in this day and age

This is a wonderful newsworthy story that needs to be told. To bring the efforts of a virtual world to the real world in a positive way can make a difference.

The true hope is that this event can raise awareness not only at the local levels but the national levels as well. We urge all of those receiving this press release to please respond.
