"When our beloved dog Blue had his last bout with cancer, we realizedthere was a need to direct more resources toward animal cancer research andprevention," states David Petrie, co-founder and president of The Blue BuffaloFoundation. "We started the Blue Buffalo Co. (http://www.bluebuff.com), ahealthy and holistic natural food for dogs and cats, and then created ourcharitable arm, the Blue Buffalo Foundation for Cancer Research. We felt thatthe thorough and selective process Morris Animal Foundation has in place tochoose and oversee health studies, in combination with their proven commitmentto animal health, made them an ideal and like-minded partner for us."
