However, she did not respond well to her first treatment and passed away from complications. Daisy was assisted by the Zach Memorial Fund for dogs with cancer.

 

 
Picture Not AvailableBABY - JANUARY 2004: a ten year old Chihuahua that has lymphoma. She began chemotherapy treatment and is responding well so far. Baby and her owners were also assisted by the Zach Memorial Fund.

OSKAR - MARCH 2004: is a nine month old giant Schnauzer that was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia. A bone in his front left leg stopped growing prematurely, leaving his elbow joint unstable and causing him to limp.  X-rays showed a bone fragment in the joint and signs of arthritis. Thanks to a successful surgery to remove the fragment and lengthen the bone, Oskar is able to run again.
