Green raising money this week to help artist save street dog in Chile

Chef Damon Brasch, owner of Green New American Vegetarian, is having a fundraiser Thursday through Saturday to bring a Chilean street dog to his forever home in Arizona.

Valley mosaic artist Tammi Lynch-Forrest (pictured) recently traveled to Chile to volunteer on a community intervention project with artists from 22 countries.

While working, she encountered an injured street dog she named Chilidog. Read their remarkable story here. Also, check out their Facebook page here.

Thursday through Saturday, Green will offer a “Chilidog special” of two veggie hot dogs (grilled with sweet onions and topped with house-made chili) with a side for $9 at both the Tempe and Phoenix locations.

All proceeds will go toward Chilidog’s vet bills and trip to Arizona to be reunited with Lynch-Forrest.
