- Get out of here with that, Tuna.
It all began in 2010 when Courtney Dasher found a four-month-old Chiweenie with an exaggerated overbite, a lower jawline dysfunction, and a tendency to crawl on his belly because of the emotional trauma of being abandoned. She brought him home only intending to foster the pup, but that quickly changed. After a week, Dasher knew something was special about Tuna (a name based on his “cartoonish” features) and made the decision to adopt him.
The event takes place at PAWS’s Lincoln Park Adoption Center (1997 N. Clybourn), from 6-8 PM on Thursday, March 5. Tickets include a Q&A and book signing with Dasher, a copy of Tuna Melts My Heart: The Underdog with the Overbite, as well as a donation to PAWS.
