Dakota, a 4-year-old French bulldog from Justin, Texas, has pushed the boundaries of what it means to be humanity’s best friend. She developed a glioma, a form of brain tumor that is particularly dangerous to both canines and humans. By working with veterinary scientists at Purdue University, Dakota received treatment for her cancer while also contributing to cancer research that may benefit both humans and canines.
