Malcom's Story
In May of 2004, Malcom was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive cancer of the bones. One month later, Malcom lost his leg to the cancer and underwent chemotherapy. Malcom learned to adjust and walk on three legs within weeks of the surgery extending his life by almost 2 years.
The 2 years weren't easy. It turns out that osteosarcoma is so aggressive that it metastasizes about 90% of the time and Malcom was not spared. In August 2005, a grapefruit sized tumor was found in his lung and he was given 2 weeks to month to live.
It turns out that Malcom was a fighter, he was able to give Luke 5 more months of fun and love; he passed away on January 11th, 2006.

YBD (Yer Big Dog) Foundation was formed
The mission of the YBD Foundation is as follows:
To operate exclusively for charitable, educational, outreach and scientific purposes related to the reduction in the incidence of cancer and improve cure rates for all those touched by this disease.
We strive for the goals of:
1. Promoting public interest and awareness
through education about the causes for
the rise in animal cancer.
2. Encouraging and supporting those
institutions that conduct research in the
field of comparative oncology which
compares human and animals cancers in
order to find the causes relative to each.
3. Establishing and empowering
collaborative efforts among individuals,
groups, communities and institutions
that seek to find the causes of cancer.
It is important to remember that cancer is not only growing in our furry friends, but humans as well. I am 95% sure that any knowledge gained through this research will benefit people as well.
Memorials to Malcom and Others

My connection with 2 Dogs 2,000 Miles is through my book, The Healing Art of Pet Parenthood. I am pleased to have this review written by Luke and posted on Amazon.com:
A Touching and Timely Story..., August 27, 2008
By 2 Dogs 2000 Miles "Hudson, Murphy, and Yer Big Dog (Boston, MA)
Not often have I come across a book about the relationship between people and pets that truly speaks to me. The story of Nadine and Buttons is heartwarming and endearing and I feel blessed by having experienced it. In many ways, it's my own. I lost my boy, Malcolm, to bone cancer and know both the depth of loss and the loneliness and isolation one feels from societal preconceptions. It's a brave book and about damn time!
