To celebrate World Book Day (2nd March), travel expert Lonely Planet held a reading of its new Lonely Planet Kids title Atlas of Dogs in London to a unique audience this week.
As part of a fund-raiser for the charity All Dogs Matter, Head of Lonely Planet UK Tom Hall hosted a special canine gathering and found that dogs love a good book too. Sharing details of the new Atlas of Dogs book detailing 150 of the world’s most wonderful dogs, and where in the world they originate from, at the dog friendly barge bookshop Word on the Water, Regent’s Canal, Kings Cross.
Free copies of the beautifully illustrated hardback book will be given away to visitors to Word on the Water on World Book Day, including a voucher from Lonely Planet to make a £25 donation to the much-loved charity which helps to transform the lives of unwanted and abandoned dogs in and around London. A £25 donation could feed five dogs for a day, cover the cost of staying at the shelter for two nights or pay for a vaccination and microchip.
