This website has been created in memory of an unforgettable French Bulldog named Léon. While it was never our intention to create a website, life has a way of presenting obstacles and allowing us to determine the way in which we will respond. We can ignore the obstacles and hope that they magically disappear. Or, we can face them and play our part, however great or small, in their resolution.

In April 2004, Léon was diagnosed with a fibrosarcoma (cancer) at the site of his microchip implant. This location (dorsal neck/interscapular area) is also commonly used to vaccinate dogs, cats and other animals.

As a result of Léon’s vaccine and/or microchip-induced fibrosarcoma, I started asking a few questions. Those questions led to more questions. And those questions led to many frightening and disheartening answers which revealed that Léon’s health problems were man-made. The answers also revealed that the pharmaceutical companies, medical community and those who are meant to protect us are fully aware of these problems, yet blindly and recklessly steer us down the same misguided and ill-fated path.
