If you enjoyed the Thanksgiving-themed dinner in November, you will L*O*V*E this event!

Enjoy dinner to the accompaniment of Elvis Presley's favorite holiday songs. A blue Christmas like it used to be, back in the day.

AFTER DINNER, listen to the heartwarming story of Eric O'Grey, author of the hot-selling book, "Walking With Peety." Hear about how Peety helped Eric become vegan and saved his life.

Eric was 150 pounds overweight, depressed, and sick. After a lifetime of failed diet attempts, and the onset of type 2 diabetes due to his weight, Eric went to a new doctor, who surprisingly prescribed a shelter dog. And that's when Eric met Peety: an overweight, middle-aged, and forgotten dog who, like Eric, had seen better days.

The two adopted each other and began an incredible journey together, forming a bond of unconditional love that forever changed their lives. Over the next year, just by going on walks, playing together, and eating plant-based foods, Eric lost 150 pounds, and Peety lost 25.

As a result, Eric reversed his diabetes, got off all medication, and became happy and healthy for the first time in his life-eventually reconnecting with and marrying his high school sweetheart.

WALKING WITH PEETY is for anyone who is ready to make a change in his or her life, and for everyone who knows the joy, love, and hope that dogs can bring. This is more than a tale of mutual rescue. This is an epic story of friendship and strength.

Eric will have copies of the book available for signing and sale.

Location is the Opera Plaza Community Room, 601 Van Ness, San Francisco. Take the elevator to the mezzanine, then follow the signs down the hall to the right.

What is the cost? Typically, a holiday vegan dinner will run up to $80. For one serving. You get a main dish, a veggie, a salad and rolls. Beverage is extra. Dessert is extra. And, ONE serving.

But not here! You get main dishes, side dishes, veggies, salad, beverages (plural) and desserts (plural) and not just one serving. You can go back for more, and even take some home with you.
