This is a summary gathered from the website www.wearethecure.com.

1. In 2004, cancer experts in dogs spent nearly 30 billion dollars on the mapping of the dog genome. Why?
2. The reason that they did this is that the researchers think that cures for dog cancer can cure human cancer, and there are a multitude of reasons for thinking this.
3.For one, the dogs develop cancer spontaneously, which is quite like us, and they also age faster, and can be treated less expensively.
4. The dog genome is like the human genome, but the dog is less diverse, and that makes it easier to find the genes causing the cancer.
5. So, in helping fund dog cancer, you also help human cancer.
