Breast Cancer Awareness and Dogs

These two well-dressed dogs were spotted visiting patients in the North Shore Hospital, Long Island, NY when I was there to visit my mother in October.

I didn't quite catch onto the connection, but they were part of the big Breast Cancer Awareness events of that time.  I even bought some batteries all decorated in pink.  The profits are supposed to go to research or support for those suffering from the disease.

The dogs may be cute, but I consider it more important to humanize the illness.  Read RivkA's blog, Coffee and Chemo.
