Dog owner drives 2,000km to get pioneering cancer treatment for pet Cookie

"I admit I didn't think it through when I first made the journey to Surrey because I was obviously still grieving after my mum's death...(But) "I'd have moved heaven and earth to try and buy him extra time."

A Meath dog who was given just months to live has become one of the first Irish pets to undergo pioneering cancer treatment by staff of the UK's 'Supervet'.

Owner Joan Larkin drove 2,000kms from Slane, Co Meath to Surrey twice to obtain the life-saving treatment for her beloved pet Cookie after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
