Dog raises $20,000+ for BC research

Just woke up in time to see on TV a story (but wasn't alert enough to get the whole story straight) about a dog named Dozer (or maybe Doser) who ran in a 1/2 Marathon that was a fund raiser for a Cancer Care Center. The 1/2 Marathon started somewhere near his house and when the people ran past it he took off and ran with them to cross the finish line. His yard has an invisiable fence around it but it had rained the night before so it wasn't working. His owner had started putting out emails when she realized that he was missing and got one back saying that a big 'white' dog had just crossed the finish line with the 1/2 Marathoner and it was him. It got on local news and $17,000 had come in to the Center in his name but the spokesman for the Center was on and said that it was over $20,000 by this morning. With it making national news can only imagine how much may be raised.

Wish I could remember which Center it was but the spokesman said that they are working on research on genetics and genomes in regards to why the survival rate in BC is different in blacks and whites and on a way to allow aromatase drugs to be use with TN.

Just googled it and got this site for info on his run
