DALLAS — Teresa Needham may not have loved her dog more than most. But when 10-year-old Tiffin was diagnosed with cancer, she was willing and able to do more than most to save his life.

She flew the dog to a veterinary hospital in Los Angeles specializing in a blood treatment that can cure lymphoma in dogs.

The procedure is a bone marrow transplant that uses the animal's own healthy cells and radiation to beat the cancer.

Cost $19,000

Hey, if she's got the money and is willing to spend it on her dog, more power to her.

To some people, $19K is chump change.

My cure would cost about 50¢. Of course I wouldn't have that dog any more.......
