Trying to figure out why all our dogs except our three year old remaining companion have ended up with cancer, I have to guess that our pups suffered some sort of exposure to carcinogens, particularly since they all lived around creeks, except Bru who lived on a lake when we rescued him. Of course, he was nine years old then and had come from Oklahoma, so I have no idea what he faced in his earlier life. Everything drains into the creeks, from chemicals used to treat lawns, to people's pest control products, even to antifreeze and motor oil handled carelessly. We did not let our dogs roam unsupervised or to bathe or swim in the streams, but they were occasionally in and out of those tainted waters. Of course, your dog can't live in bubble wrap. Whatever took the other pups, we will try hard to keep Zari away from it.
