A Facebook plea for users to share photos of their dogs to cheer up a cancer-stricken Arizona teen has yielded more than 500,000 pictures, according to one of its organizers.


Roberta Lucero-Koron launched the "Photo Doggies for Anthony" campaign in December to raise the spirits of Anthony, the son of her Phoenix friend, Kristen Lyons. Lucero-Koron and Lyons' Facebook page says Anthony has been and out of the hospital, undergoing chemotherapy treatments for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

"Hi all, my friend Kristen Lyons has her son Anthony at Phoenix Childrens hospital," Lucero-Koron wrote. "Some days he gets doggy visits and some he does not. They make him smile. I thought if I create this event, you can post a picture of your dog to help make him smile. His mom shows them to him and he smiles."
