Author Lecture and Book Signing Saturday, June 14, 2008 Time: 1:00 p.m. Place: Charlton Public Library, 40 Main Street, Charlton, MA 01507 Directions Christine Sullivan author of 44 Days Out of Kandahar: the Amazing Journey of a Missing Military Puppy and the Desperate Search to Find Her Cinnamon was just a puppy when she found her way into the hearts of many of the service men and women stationed on the base where she lived. One in particular, Navy Reservist LCDR Mark Feffer worried for her future when most of the troops who cared for her were due to rotate out of the region. Who would care for her then? Getting ready to rotate out himself, Mark decided to adopt her and take her home. Mark, along with countless others, helped care for Cinnamon and prepare her for her journey. An experienced dog handler was to accompany her home; her story should have had a happy ending. Instead her story just begins when her rescue from a sub-existent life as a camp mascot goes awry. Cinnamon was due to arrive at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport at 4:30 PM on Friday afternoon, but when Cinnamon's flight landed in Chicago she wasn't on it. No one knew where she was. The dog handler entrusted to bring her home had abandoned her in a foreign country without contacting anyone. Was Cinnamon alone without food and water? Was she injured and in need of medical attention? Or was she lying lifeless on an airport tarmac somewhere? Would anyone ever know what happened to her? WHAT HAPPENED TO CINNAMON? As the story unfolds, you'll relive the amazing true story of a nearly impossible international search and rescue of Cinnamon. From her lonely start when her mother disappeared, to her endearing puppy antics entertaining the troops, to the extraordinary events that strung together and changed her life, you’ll learn how she changed the lives of all those who cared for her forever. A portion of the proceeds from books sold will go to the People For Animals League of Charlton and Operation Baghdad Pups.
