A 2005 calendar depicting photos and stories of dogs that fought cancer will be available for sale in the first or second week of this month.

The calendar is the creation of Amber Hollers, who learned last June that her dog Lucy was diagnosed with canine osteosarcoma (bone cancer). When she communicated with other people who had dogs stricken with cancer, and learned of their stories, she was inspired to create the calendar as a way of memorializing those animals.

"I decided the calendar should feature both photos and stories of dogs who are either battling cancer at the moment, or who have unfortunately lost their battle" says Amber Hollers. "I also wanted the calendar to have an inspirational and educational focus, featuring food for thought in the way of preventative care and facts on canine cancer."

The calendars are $12.00 each, and can be ordered from its website at: http://www.helpingpawsfordogswithcancer.org/.

A part of the proceeds will be donated to The Magic Bullet Fund, a charity that provides funds to treat pets with cancer. Proceeds will also go towards helping Lucy continue with her treatment.
