App name.  So for your Bulldog app-specific helpers, you would use ...

     $config['Bulldog_App_Thebooknook']['helper_class'] =  
'Vendor_View_Helper';

... if you have helpers in Vendor/View/Helper/* that you want to use.

 From this, it looks like you did something like the following ...

     $config['Bulldog_App_Thebooknook']['helper_class'] = 'Meta';

... which is not the proper approach.

Does this help at all?
