In the madness of our current political landscape, it helps to take a moment to remember the work of so many good souls who pour themselves into helping others. Like #MisterRogers said, “Look for the helpers.” Bretagne was the last surviving search and rescue dog who worked at Ground Zero. They ziplined her in to search for survivors. When none were found after weeks of searching, firefighters staged fake rescue missions to keep the dogs from growing despondent. The firefighters climbed into the wreckage and pretended to be discovered by the dogs. The dog character in #theanimalmonologues , who I call Granddog, is Bretagne’s descendent. She lives in the shadow of her grandmother’s legend, but is very proud of her and retains her family’s work ethic. She says, “just like dogs, most people want to be good.” Join us for #TheAnimalMonologues, live onstage at the @bootlegtheater as part of #SoloQueensFest, TONIGHT at 7:30pm, plus five more shows through 11/18/18!
