What is the American Cancer Society’s Bark For Life?

Bark For Life honors the life long contributions of canine caregivers. It presents an opportunity for people to be empowered through their canine companion partnerships and to contribute to the mission of the American Cancer Society to eliminate cancer as a major health problem.
