“Set against a skyline of international intrigue and industrial espionage, “No, It’s Not a Shelter” weaves us through a colorful array of characters on many pathways through life and society whose stories converge and collide with so much at stake. From those on the margins of society we barely see to the powerful and greedy, their intertwining motivations keep us in suspense. The formula at the center of the story is right out of today’s headlines on the frontiers of science, the military industrial complex, and the secret reaches of artificial intelligence. I rode the waves of this story with great pleasure. I think you’ll enjoy the ride yourself.”

-Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., author, DARK LIGHT CONSCIOUSNESS and The Dreamlife of Families.

The will to survive, one of our most important traits, is the core theme of “No, It’s Not A Shelter,” the book that arose from Anthony Bynum’s study of the underclass and the economic decisions that make for survival. This is the fictionalized account of “The Underground Economy,” the 2016 book Bynum wrote that chronicled his observations about this fluid subset of Americans, where he reported on the issues surrounding their underclass status and did analysis regarding his observations on how individuals not fully integrated into our economy survive. These groups include the homeless, gang members, and undocumented immigrants. He took what he learned from the project and fictionalized it in “No, It’s Not A Shelter.”

The story focuses on our heroine, Cynthia, and a somewhat odd relationship she forms with our other featured character, Vincent. They share a symbiotic relationship. The other characters represent Corporate America, complicated bad guys, and interested family members.

The theme of life for the disaffected is never far from the surface.

About the Author

Anthony Bynum considers himself a study of life’s hard knocks. In other words, he’s tried a number of different things and hasn’t always been successful. He tempers his ambitions with the importance of his family’s survival. Based on this philosophy, he’s been able to work two careers, the first in the insurance business working in the claims side of automobile accidents as adjuster, supervisor, and eventually field investigator. He also spent twenty years in the Maryland National Guard. He was able to serve with many fine men and women. This allowed him to travel to a number of different countries, but it mostly allowed him to travel to A. P. Hill in Virginia. Bynum has a tremendous love for his country, but at the time of his enlistment, his desire was economic survival. He needed the work. He recently began a new professional career in banking.

Bynum and his wife of twenty-nine years, Lori, are fortunate to have two young adult sons, Anton and Andre, who are in the beginnings of their careers.

Great, except for the edible one
Flavor Name: Chicken & Original, Size: X-Small
My elderly dog and my puppy both love these bones. They are 9lbs and 4.5lbs respectively and this is a good size for them. They also like the next size up and it is manageable for them as well. The only gripe I have is the edible one, it comes apart in larger chunks (that are still very hard) and my dogs swallowed a few before I noticed how large the pieces were. I decided to throw that one away. Its been over a week and no negative side effects so maybe just me being overly cautious. For the price (gold box) just the other two bones were worth it. They last pretty much forever for my dogs, and I would say they are moderate chewers. 4 stars due to the issue with the edible bone.

My little dog loves these.
Flavor Name: Bacon & Peanut Butter, Size: X-Small, Flavor Name: Bacon & Peanut Butter, Size: X-Small
These are the perfect size, texture, and density for my 9 lb chihuahua (rescued, of course! :)) He has a tiny mouth with tiny teeth and very little bite force so he needs a chewybone with a lot of give. I've been impressed with how clean these help keep his teeth (it's the saliva flow during the chewing that breaks down any lingering debris and the action of the nubs against the teeth and gums helps to rub off tartar and plaque, if you care to know the *why* behind it.) These are ideal for dogs like mine, and since small dogs tend to have a lot of dental problems due to overcrowded mouths, I couldn't be more grateful that these exist. These would probably also be good for the many rescued puppy mill dogs, who are often small breeds, who have dental issues due to malnutrition and exacerbated by overbreeding, especially in females whose bodies often rob the jaw bones of calcium for the sake of the fetuses they carry, when the pregnant dogs aren't given an appropriately enriched gestational diet. That leads to the little bleppy tongues sticking out all over that we often see in the canine survivors of back yard breeding operations, puppy mills, and the like. There are a lot of these dogs being rescued and adopted in the U.S. right now and these would likely be ideal for them. (In case any adopters of these little survivors are reading this. :)) These are for gentle chewers only, and there are a lot of dogs who fall into that category. They aren't , however, for dogs with an average bite or higher, which is where some of the complaints you hear about these are coming from. Know your dog's chewing needs and buy the size that fits their mouth, tooth type, and bite strength. My dog barely puts a dent in these after a year or more of chewing (watch for any degradation of the plastic and replace as needed, of course.) For little dogs like mine, these are just fantastic and I hope Nylabone keeps making these type of chew toys to keep our dogs healthy. :)
