Denver, June 3, 2008: Morris Animal
Foundation (MAF) has posted on its Web site,

a canine cancer exclusive of special interest to dog owners and dog
lovers everywhere. One in four dogs die of cancer. Cancer is the
number one cause of death in dogs over the age of two. The MAF
canine cancer Web exclusive features information and insight from
two of the world's leading colleges of veterinary medicine and
canine cancer research centers, Colorado State University and
Cornell University.

The MAF exclusive
includes a question and answer session conducted by three veterinary

been submitted from owners whose dogs are suffering from cancer,
animal lovers, as well as dog breeders, boarding kennel managers and
others.
The web presentation also includes canine cancer facts and
