Whatever the size and breed of your dogs, the important thing for pet owners to keep in mind is that dogs will be fussy about the kind of toy he wants to play with.

Our new Daily Dog and Cat Tip writer, the author of the amazing Dog Lovers Bible and Cat Lovers Bible, wanted to make sure we knew about the amazing 2,400 mile walk of Luke Robinson and his dogs Hudson and Murphy, known as 2 Dogs, 2,000 Miles. Luke is true salt of the earth, a real person simply and passionately dedicating years of his life to our canine companions. He’s not doing it for fame, notoriety or something to do. Heck, I dare you to find Luke’s first and last name in the same place on the site. It’s not about him at all. He’s doing it for dogs, and all of humanity.
After losing his beloved Malcom to canine cancer in 2004, Luke Robinson decided it’s time we stop trying simply to cure canine cancers, but to learn why they are happening.
There are many cancer foundations which work towards finding a cure, and while we applaud their efforts, we want to know what’s causing it. The funds raised from the walk will finance the first ever nationwide epidemiological canine cancer study.
They are currently in Little Rock, AR on their walk from Austin, TX to Boston, MA. On their blog you can follow along on the whole trip, which is much much more than a solitary walk. They are stopping at every pet, shelter and rescue event along the way to help raise awareness and both for canine cancer and the local organizations. And every step of the way they are sharing the stories of loss with other pet owners. Finally, after each day Luke and the dogs are sleeping under the roofs of starngers who every day come forward to help the pack in their great journey.
Here is an interactive map with all the way points to date.

Tracie has posted a great correspondence with Luke and his team.
If you can handle the tears, there’s a loving yet heart squeezing Memorials page on Luke’s site dedicated to every doggie who has been beaten by cancer. There’s also a flickr photo memorial group they made open to anyone.
Here’s a great video explaining what they are doing:

We’ll be following Luke and Pack from here on out!
