Do You Have a Golden Retriever? Morris Animal Foundation Needs Your Help

60% of Golden Retrievers will die of cancer, but guess what? ÌýYour dog can help change that by participating in Morris Animal Foundation’s Golden Retriever Lifetime Study.

The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is the largest and longest effort ever undertaken to improve the health of dogs. Over the next 10 to 14 years, observational data collected from Golden Retrievers will help Morris Animal Foundation learn how to prevent cancer and other diseases that take the lives of dogs too soon.

As of today (2/13/2014 at 3:22 p.m.), 1,072 participants have signed up to help. ÌýBut, Morris Animal Foundation needs 3,000 participants to make this study a success.
