BEST FRIENDS
 Humans
and Animals
Saved by Medical Breakthroughs
Do
you have a pet that was saved by a medical breakthrough? We
want to hear your story!
Have you
had a life-saving event that you attribute to a medical breakthrough?
We want to hear your story as well!
Best Friends is one of our 2008 campaigns where we want to
tell the stories of health improvements in animals and humans
made possible by basic animal research.
Send us your photos, stories and even videos showing how
you or your pet’s life has been enhanced thanks to medical
breakthroughs made possible by animal research,
and possibly be featured
in our 2008 compilation DVD!

the following:

do you love most about her/him?

before medical treatment? What was your pet’s quality
of life?
