Have you ever wondered about the impact of the invaluable samples contributed by our beloved greyhounds to osteosarcoma research? A groundbreaking documentary, Shelter Me: The Cancer Pioneers, is set to premiere on PBS, offering an in-depth look at this vital area of study.

This compelling film features the esteemed Dr. Nicola Mason and the University of Pennsylvania research team, highlighting their pioneering work—some of which is proudly supported by The Greyhound Health Initiative.
