"Canine cancer is an issue our members feel really passionate about. MAF is doing great work and we are really happy to help their cause," said Steven Reading co-founder of Dogster.com.
MAF is undertaking an unprecedented campaign to fund research to cure canine cancer, in the lifetime of a dog -- the next 10 to 20 years. MAF-funded research will also help develop treatments to aid dogs suffering today. All dogs face a grave threat from cancer. One in four dogs dies of cancer -- even higher for golden retrievers where 60 percent will die of cancer. It is the number-one cause of death in dogs over the age of two. Many more dogs suffer the devastating effects of the disease.
