As we end October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought this story from WEWS in Cleveland was appropriate. (No, it doesn’t involve NFL players wearing pink shoes – have you ever seen anything more ridiculous?)
The recent 3-day walk for a cure in Cleveland had a team with a dog mascot named Muffin. This 5-year old was found wandering the streets last winter with a large cancerous mammary tumor.
Marilyn’s Voice, a rescue organization near Cleveland, took the dog in and had her successfully treated to remove the tumor, after which she was adopted by a woman whose sister is also a breast cancer survivor.
Muffin was promptly added to the walking team, wearing her very own pink ribbon T-shirt.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Breast cancer strikes fear into the hearts of many women and it can seem as if you have little to no control over your risk factors of contracting this common cancer.
