We lost our lovely old boy in October last year.  My husband and he were like the human and kanine versions of each other and shared an incredible bond.  Our dog had a (what turned out to be cancerous) lump on the side of his neck.  In early June, he became very ill overnight.  One day he was just great, the next terribly unwell.  Tests confirmed he had cancer in his liver as well as the lump in his neck.  We nursed him back to a semblance of health (he still had lots of quality of life, not to mention the will) but he died in early October.  A couple of weeks before he died, my husband found a lump in his throat in the same place and on the same side as our old boy's lump.  A needle biopsy confirmed cancer in the glands and a CT scan identified a tumour at the base of his tongue.  A nurse told us it is T1.  He's two thirds through the chemo and radio now but I'm convinced our old dog not only knew my husband had cancer but also tried to keep going to support him.
