The Sunday before Thanksgiving, Gem’s 29-year-old owner died of a bacterial infection. His neighbor and friend, Lauren Glick, took in Gem (right), who is a long-time pal of Lauren’s dog, Tiggie (left). But now this family formed from tragedy has a new ordeal to overcome: Gem was just diagnosed with lymphoma. Read the full, heart-warming story in the 12/27/2009 NY Post. Frankie’s Friends’ Cure Canine Lymphoma project and the Zeus Varis Fund are joining with NY Post readers to pay for Gem’s cancer treatment.
