It’s been almost two years since we met Luke Robinson just before he, Hudson and Murphy left for their epic walk from Austin Texas, to Boston Massachusetts.
They’ve met thousands of people and been in the media spotlight, raising awareness about canine cancer and ways to find its cause, and ultimately a cure. They’re now in the home stretch, and on Friday February 5th, they will be on the Today Show at approximately 8AM!
We’ll post a YouTube clip when it becomes available but meanwhile, be sure to catch up on the pack’s latest adventures:
Luke and the Boys were recently on the January 9th broadcast of the What Would Jeff Do? radio show.
You can also catch him on Arden Moore’s “Oh Behave!” show, on PetLifeRadio.com
Good luck to Luke and the Boys this Friday on the Today Show. Many many thanks to them for all of their incredible hard work in making this media event happen, and getting the word out about canine cancer! We know more great things are in store for this special trio.

After our friend Jeanie at Four Paws Acupuncture told us about the What Would Jeff Do?: Real World Dog Training For Life radio show she was interviewed on, we became fans of Jeff’’s.
Jeff is a cool guy, and not just because he has a Tripawd! We hope to write about this pup real soon.
Jeff is the founder of Solid K9 Training in Rhode Island. He’s a highly regarded holistic dog trainer with a real-world, pack leader philosophy that works with all dogs.
Training is constant: every walk, every situation in and out of your house, every time you go in the car, the dog park, the woods.
I train with a firm but gentle manner. Your dog will be excited to work with me because I am the pack leader and they get to follow my lead. It is a HUGE load off of their shoulders when they do not have to be the pack leader any more, as most dogs don’t want to have that responsibility. When their owners show more leadership, they can better enjoy life.
Dog needs to feel that their owner can lead them. They need to have faith that you will be able to protect them and keep them safe, not the other way around. Your dogs will actually be more confident if you, as the human, show more leadership with your dog, and you will earn your dog’s trust and respect. Your dog needs to feel that you are up to that responsibility though; if they feel that you will not be a good pack leader then they will take over.
Jeff was nice enough to invite us onto his radio show. You can download the December Podcast here.
The whole hourlong episode is worth listening to, but if you want to skip to our spot, we are about halfway through the podcast, right after the first block of email questions.
If you’re lucky enough to live in the Northeast, Jeff does training seminars all the time. And if you can only learn his tips from afar, visit his website for more tips and a regular newsletter you can receive via email.

Keep in mind that my 2 year-old can give my two German Sheperds a command and they will listen to her. This is because they respect her as higher up in the hierarchy of our pack.

When it comes to battling canine bone cancer, pawrents understand how hard it is to keep feelings of fear, regret and hopelessness away. At times, these nasty characters can take over our lives, and keep us from living in the present.
Doug Koktavy’s new hardbound book, “The Legacy of Beezer and Boomer: Lessons on Living and Dying from My Canine Brothers” can gently teach you how to cope with terminal illness and dying.
Doug recently gave an interview with Blog Talk Radio, which you can listen to here.
In this podcast, Doug talks about his book, which started out as a simple website essay called “On Fear” (which you can read here). Now, Beezer and Boomer’s story has evolved into a chronicle of the life Doug shared with his two canine brothers as they battled terminal illness while teaching Doug important lessons about:
- Listening to our pets
- Gaining a new perspective on our pets’ end of life care
- Dealing with anticipatory grief
- Conquering guilt and fear: living in the present
- Developing a Presence Plan
- Finding humor in the worst situations
- Understanding our place in the circle of life
The Beezer and Boomer story was a huge help to us when we learned Jerry had lung mets, and taught us how to break free of “anticipatory grief” (grieving for events we knew were going to happen, someday). While we had some setbacks, each time we did, Doug’s wise words helped bring us back into the “now,” and we were able to make the most of our time with Jerry.
Download Doug’s podcast interview, then find out how The Legacy of Beezer and Boomer can help you too.
And remember, for every copy of The Legacy of Beezer and Boomer sold through tripawds.com, Doug will generously gift a portion of the sale to Tripawds!

Earlier this year, our friend Sandra presented the Luna Award, a designation in honor of her cancer warrior Luna who defied all odds after having a hemipelvectomy and living 11 months with hemangiosarcoma.
The Luna Award was given at the “2009 Genes, Dogs and Cancer: 5th International Canine Cancer Conference.” The winner was Jennifer McClesse, from the Department of Veterinary Biosciences, College of Veterinary Medicine at Ohio State University.
McCleese is a promising researcher studying “the mechanisms involved in malignant transformation which promote the development of osteosarcoma, as well as novel therapies for treatment.” For you scientific-minded individuals, an abstract of McCleese’s paper can be found here.
If you’re interested in learning more about McCleese’s work, you can download a PDF of the presentation that won her the Luna Award. While much of this report is very technical, there are parts that can be understood by less scientific-minded folks.
