An evening with Melanie D.G. Kaplan

When journalist Melanie Kaplan fosters beagle Hammy after his release from a research lab, she becomes curious about his past and the broader world of animal research. She and Hammy embark on a journey – meeting researchers, activists, ethicists, and innovators. Along the way, she finds thoughtful humans on all sides of the debate, explores promising nonanimal testing developments, and uncovers Hammy’s story. Lab Dog offers hope and a nuanced look at our relationship with a species we both love and exploit.

In conversation with Patty Quimby, Executive Director of Talbot Humane, and Craig Fuller, columnist for The Talbot Spy. Q&A and book signing to follow.

Tickets: $25 (fees not included)
