ReplyDeleteHugs,
You are right, to many dogs are dying from cancer. Our first Golden died from lymphoma at the age of 5...Very, very sad. A few years ago at the Golden Retriever National in Gettysburg they were collecting DNA samples from Goldens for a cancer study that is underway. I had 2 senior goldens who were 14 and 15 that they wanted samples from because of their age and because they had not been affected by cancer. I so hope that their contribution to that study helps to find and fight the cause for this terrible disease.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue. As you know, we lost Fred to cancer too. Love that Paul Mitchell has a campaign. Off to check it out!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this reminder.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cause. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for sharing about Paul Mitchell campaign. Cancer took our greyhound, Tater. It happened very quickly, with very little warning. Then we found out a lot of greyhounds from the tracks had cancer too.

I just had a friend lose a dog to cancer. So, so sad. Thank you for posting to help raise awareness.
ReplyDeleteWe did a post on cancer in dogs for Livestrong Day. Thankfully there seems to be more research, treatment and support for those struck with this terrible disease. Thanks for the link to the 7 Things to watch for- I have not seen that one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your informative post, which I will share. This is a cause we can all help spread the word on. Cancer affects way too many lives, both human and canine. We are looking forward to the day when the headlines announce, "Cure for Cancer Found." I saw your blog from the Blog Hop, and am very glad I stopped by, and will be again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information Sue and raising awareness for this. Happy DOT's!
