A cancer survivor himself, Bart has appeared in several television shows and feature films. Now, Bart is starring in a public service announcement filmed for the Animal Cancer Center that will begin to air nationally during National Pet Week and continue throughout the summer. His image also will appear on posters, buttons and stickers distributed with information about cancer in pets. For 23 years, animal trainers Doug and Lynne Seus raised Bart as one of the family and trained him with love and affection. Like Bart, many of these animals are likely to be stricken with cancer.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in cats and dogs.
While treatments are available, more research is crucial. Over the years, the Animal Cancer Center at Colorado State has grown from a small veterinary service unit to a major treatment, research and outreach center that now handles more than 7,000 appointments and more than 1,500 new cancer patients annually.
