recognize the Rainbow Pawz "Fighting for K9 Cancer Awareness"

dog walk will bring together dog owners, the members of the 
veterinary community, and local residents of Amarillo to learn 
more about the ongoing efforts to treat cancer in dogs; now, 
therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
