For many people affected by cancer, dogs (and other pets) can bring comfort, routine, and a sense of connection during tough times.
This June, the Dog Walk for Cancer is a chance to get moving with your pup - walking throughout the month to raise funds for cancer research, prevention, and support services for the almost 1 in 2 Australians impacted by cancer.
Whether it’s a walk around the block, a cuddle on the couch, or simply being there—pets can make a real difference.
You can read more here about how you (or your friends and family) can take part in Dog Walk for Cancer and get involved.
And even if you're not out walking in June, but have a faithful companion... comment below and tell us about your pet... what’s their name? What's something funny or special they do?
I love my cavoodle. Wagging her tail and flopping on the ground for a belly scratch.
If I have a good day or bad day it doesn’t matter, she’s always happy to see me.
I love this, she sounds like a devoted and loving best friend. Belly scratches for dogs are the best aren't they, she sounds like a character the way she flops to the ground for one 🙂
