In the summer of 2004 I found a lump on my Greyhound Foxy's front leg. The lump was removed and we were told Foxy has cancer. There was a 70% likelihood
of the tumor returning in the first three months. That was 24 months ago, and Foxy is still doing very well, with no return of the tumor.
I know we are truly one of the very lucky ones. Since then. I have watched others loose their beloved greys to cancer, in particular osteo, I have always wanted to
do something to help. In June, 2005 one of my favourite greyhounds, Clover, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. By July, she was gone. I had to do something to
help!
Greyhound Planet Day came and went, our group's plan for coming year was to include raising money for cancer research. I didn't want to wait that long. I wanted
to help now!
I created an Awareness Collar Bling for Hope, something all dogs and their humans can wear. All proceeds of the sales go to Dr Guillermo Couto to be used in
the Greyhound Health and Wellness Program at Ohio State University.
Since then, many other wonderful greyhound owners have joined the fight, in particular, many members of Grey Talk.
Let's keep working hard to find a cure for our beloved hounds.
Here's how can you help support research on cancer in greyhounds!
