"The passion that moves us forward is from
experiencing what Cancer really does to the one's we love.
We are driven because there is a hole in our soul
where once was the love of our dog." Gary D. Nice

Canine Cancer affects one out of every three dogs.  Of those, over half of them will die of cancer. The National Canine Cancer Foundation is asking for your help to fund important research grants that are working towards improving those statistics. Through a major project funded by the National Institute of Health, the mapping of the genome sequence of the dog has been complete. Knowing the mapping of every gene in the dog, gives researchers an advantage not yet achieved in humans.

We're closer to a cure, now's the time to beat this cancer!
If we all work together, WE ARE THE CURE.

I?ve spoken about aggressive, unruly dogs in some of my previous posts and also about ways of tackling them. But have we ever spared a thought about the shy, timid and less confident ones?
