Super cool news from SXSW! Charlie Annenberg Weingarten, the Director of the Annenberg Foundation & founder of Explore.org has issued a challenge.  If Dog Bless You gets 100,000 fans on Facebook, Explore.org will donate $100,000 to National Disaster Search Dog Foundation.  If Dog Bless You hits 100,000 fans by 2:00am EST Sunday March 13 (that’s tonight!) Explore.org will double the donation to $200,000.  Six Canine Disaster Search Teams will arrive in Japan in about 3 hrs as part of a larger team.
