Children’s Book Signing Event with Cheryl Merz, Brown Dog Goes to the Beach!

Meet the Author of Brown Dog Goes to the Beach!
Join us on Saturday, June 6th from 2–4 PM at Cincinnati Animal CARE’s shelter location for a special afternoon with local author and illustrator Cheryl Merz and her beloved rescue dog inspiration, Dude.
Brown Dog Goes follows Dude, a once-homeless rescue puppy who grew up to become an adventurous traveler exploring the world alongside his mom. Written and illustrated by Cheryl Merz, this heartwarming children’s book celebrates rescue dogs, curiosity, friendship, and adventure through the eyes of one very good boy. Perfect for kids ages 3–8!
Bring the family to:
• Meet Cheryl Merz and hear Dude’s story
• Purchase a signed copy of Brown Dog Goes to the Beach
• Browse adoptable dogs and cats at the shelter
• Enjoy a kid-friendly afternoon celebrating rescue animals and reading

Dude’s story started with adoption and we’re so excited to share it with our community. We hope you’ll stop by, meet some amazing animals, and celebrate the joy of rescue with us!
