Ten years ago, Nina Noe's dog supported her along her journey to beat a rare form of breast cancer.

Now cancer-free, Nina is giving back by founding her own non-profit dedicated to sharing the comfort and compassion of therapy dogs. Nina and her therapy dog, Gideon, visit patients at the Saint Luke's East Breast Center every week.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, FOX 4 and KMBC talked with Nina and Ruby Meierotto, MD, a breast radiologist at Saint Luke's Cancer Institute, about the healing powers of canine companionship.
