      Dogs as far as we know do not cause cancer 🙂
      The most common causes are smoking, chemicals in the environment, viruses and exposure of your skin to strong sunlight over many years, hence the need to use sun blocker when the sun is strong – which in Newcastle is not often 🙂

      No idea beyond the obvious ones. Don’t think dogs qualify.

      This isn’t my field I’m afraid. Although I’m fairly sure that dogs don’t cause cancer!
