Back in 2004, a Pyr named Malcolm was diagnosed with bone cancer. Since then, his human, Luke, has taken a unique approach to fund raising for canine cancer research. He sold his truck, but his belongings in storage, and hit the road with his two Pyrs, Hudson and Murphy. They are currently making the trek from Austin to Boston. You can get the details of the who, how and why on his website.

We’ve been aware of this for some time. I have my Puppy Up shirt, and now that I was able to get the spaghetti sauce stain out of it, I wear it weekly. People look at me weird, and every once in a while, they ask about it. If 10 percent of the people ask, it’s a good day. So why am I bringing it up now, you ask?

Simple. Remember earlier this year I mentioned the passing of Abigail the Pyr? Well, she also died from bone cancer. Not only were her humans lucky enough to meet Luke and his Pyrs on their journey, but they are currently involved in the big calendar fund raiser.

If you have a spare $5 (or more, if you’re lucky!), please consider donating to the cause. You can vote for Abby G (or others, if you wish), on the submission page.

Thank you!
