"Denali" Is the Heartbreaking Story of a Cancer-Battling Man and Dog

When you spend over 15 years together, it’s an emotional challenge to separate. When you spend many of those years battling cancer as a unit, “emotional challenge” takes on a whole different meaning. Ben Moon and his dog Denali spent a large portion of their inseparable relationship adventuring around the world, but the latter half of the story finds them blossoming into a definitively symbiotic relationship. Accordingly, “Denali” was initially created as a tribute to the dog, who saw Moon through chemotherapy and radiation but passed before he could survive cancer himself. A real-life ‘man and his dog’ tale worthy of your attention this afternoon, check out “Denali” above.
