Masses in dogs

My cousin had to put her dog to sleep a few days ago. They found a large mass in her stomach and it was causing all kinds of problems. Our last dog had the same problem. Is this a common thing?

Cancer is the most common cause of death in dogs as well as humans. The environmental factors that affect humans, also affect dogs. If the dog is overweight, it has an increased chance of cancer just the same as humans. I'm so sorry you lost your animal companion and I'm sorry for your cousin too. It's hard to do.

I never thought of it that way but it makes sense. Do overweight people have a higher risk of getting cancer? This isn't something that I have heard before.
