I am deeply saddened to report the loss of Murphy Robinson, one of Luke Robinson's beautiful Great Pyrenees who made the walk with him from Austin to Boston to bring awareness to canine cancer.
As those of you may know, thousands followed Luke's progress on his website, 2dogs2000miles and when he passed through Philly, we hooked up for a day at Penn's vet school.
Murphy was diagnosed with nasal cancer after Like completed the walk and despite rigorous and aggressive chemotherapy, lost the battle last week. Beyond being deeply ironic (dare I say cruel) for Murphy to be felled by the same disease that prompted Luke's life mission, it was devastating for Luke to lose another "son" to cancer.
There is a Murphy memorial page on facebook with many pictures posted of this beautiful and elegant warrior. Rest in Peace, Murphy.
