My dogs came into my life when the doctor told me I had cancer. I went and adopted two long time shelter dogs that had thought no one would ever love them. I went to shelter and seen Rich first at back of kennel like his life was over. I adopted him. Next I seen Ronny and he came up to me and licked my hand. I adopted him. I felt I needed some companions during this time of pain and the unknown. I didn’t know what would happen but I know I needed love to always surround me and that’s what I found in Rich and Ronny. I needed to laugh and they make me laugh all the time. I needed to cry and they gave me a soft place to do it. I needed a friend and they gave me a paw. I beat the cancer and I owe it all to them for providing me with all the love and compassion I could ever need. I love you guys you are my everything!! Credit : Respective Owner

Melanomas in dogs are similar to human melanomas. An effective treatment for humans is a combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy. A team of researchers led by Dr. Satoru Konnai at Hokkaido University investigated the effects of this therapy in dogs. bit.ly/3NSG7de
