Such a sad irony. I personally would like to hear that veterinary research is focusing on possible dietary reasons for what seems a rise in animals cancers.

cancer is a harsh disease in human or animal, the sad part is some people can not afford therapy for either

Poor thing. When we treated one of our dogs for cancer he did not have the same type of human side-effects and he lived for 4 more years.

This dog is amazing and I am sure now that the patients know he has cancer too, it makes it all the more special that he comes to visit them. I will pray that he goes into remission and continues his good work.

What a great connection he has with patients. They can relate with each other. It's always great to know when someone (or some dog) understands what you are going through.

How sad, but at the same time inspiring. This dog has done so much to help suffering humans, now lets hope he receives the same loving care and concern from them. Good for the owner for investing the resources to cure her canine companion.

What a trooper! This should create a closer bond between Inker and the cancer patients and be better therapy for both. I wish Inker the best.

SHE WAS THE BEST DIAGNOSTIC TOOL OUT THERE-AND OF COURSE PROBABLY NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE-HOW SAD-MAYBE THIS IS WHY SHE HAD AN AFFINITY FOR THE CANCER PATIENTS SHE 'DIAGNOSED'-IT WAS HER 6TH SENSE.

What a great dog. I believe in pet therapy. When my grandmother was in the nursing home, I would take my collies to visit. It made some of the patients perk up. There was one man that I thought could not talk. The first day I took one of my collies he talked. And talked. As it turned out he had collies on his farm most of his life. He truly enjoyed the visits with the dogs.
What a wonderful person Pat is and what a wonderful dog Inker is. I pray for both of you.

I think Inker will fight it until the end! I pray he makes it and doesn't feel to bad. It is so hard to see your best friend suffer. At least he is still able to help all of the cancer patients and now they can help care for him- he deserves lots of extra lovin'.
