Several months ago I posted about a man and his two Great Pyrenees dogs who were walking 2000 miles (2 dogs, 2000 miles) to bring public awareness to Canine Cancer and to raise money for canine cancer research. Luke Robinson completed those 2000 miles with his two dogs, Murphy and Hudson. Along their way they met hundreds of people and had at least that many adventures.

The last words of a very intelligent dog
Before I go, I just want to remind all you pups and kitties to always have plenty of love for your humans even if they might be grumpy. Sometimes they get caught up in all sorts of things and take us for granted. That doesn't mean they don't love and need us. Also you humans, remember why you have us around. If you are feeling stressed out, pet us. It's been proven to lower your blood pressure. Also keep lots of treats handy. And for everyone, enjoy life. Always take time for walks, frisbee and CAR RIDES.
And one last thing for you humans. If you are considering adding another dog to your home, think about giving one of older dogs a chance. We don't chew up your shoes, pee inside (well, not unless we really can't help it) or need lots of training. Plus you will have a very loyal friend for the rest of our lives. ~Domi, the therapy dog, 1996-2009

This is so so sad. They completed their journey and this has to happen. I did read about your post months back. So so sorry to hear about Murphy. Our thoughts are with Luke and Hudson.
Our furkids do make an opening in our hearts and make them bigger. They open our hearts to love.
We saw this yesterday on their site. And here the tears have started again seeing that picture. That picture is something that each of us have to endure with our own pups. It hurts so much seeing the pain that Murphy went through, especially near the end. Our hearts go out to Luke and Hudson.
It's rare that this moment is captured in a picture and for me brings back the pain of losing my own pups and my husband having to do this very thing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with them. I am sure that Murphy is smiling, looking down at us from heaven through both eyes, pain free.
Lots of Luv & Kisses

This is just so sad. Thanks for sharing it with us.
My thoughts and prayers are with Luke and Hudson.

Oh No!! So sorry to hear about Murphy. Paws crossed for Luke and Hudson. Always so HARD when one of our furkids has to leave us. Knowing they are no longer in pain helps some. Always have the good memories of our time together.

Love ya lots,

I have no words. That picture will haunt me.
We read about this on Luke's facebook page. He is taking it very hard. Some of the photos posted have been so hard to see. I am so very sorry to all who have lost loved ones. :(
I am truly so sorry. I have been following his blog and it makes me very sad. Love, Debbie
My heart is so sad right now.
Tears are spilling everywhere, because I know how much Luke is hurting. No, its not fair at all.
There is no reason,,, and sometimes I get so angry,, that cancer can steal lives
and happiness from our hearts,, and all it leaves us is a big ugly hole in our heart, and tears running down our faces.
The poem you have on this post says so much.
I wish I had some good words to say, but I don't. I hate cancer.
love

No words, just tears. Incredible story.
Sweet hugs,

Murphy is a hero whose memory is best honored by our vowing to fight harder against the monster that took him. Our family walked in Fort Collins with Luke and the Boys last year and this year we are organizing the Puppy Up New Mexico Walk on Sept. 25. We all must do our part because Cancer.Touches.Everyone.
