Man's best friend could be man's best hope for a cancer cure. The group "2 Million Dogs" is raising awareness about canine cancer through its "Puppy Up" campaign - and possible links to similar cancers in humans. The group's Ginger Morgan explains that pets are exposed to many of the same environmental risks as people, and there's hope for animal and human cancer patients.
Morgan says the "Puppy Up" campaign, which includes walks in some states, is intended to raise awareness about comparative oncology. Morgan says the objective is to broaden the understanding of the links between human and companion animal cancer.
Morgan says researchers have already documented cases where humans have benefited from limb-sparing techniques developed for dogs.
