    I was recently speaking to another member here about a cancer on his dog. On the internet this morning I came across this cancer.

    Canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT)
    https://www.tcg.vet.cam.ac.uk/about/ctvt

    Tumors each appear unique—their swollen, crumbling contours flush with fresh blood vessels emerging from beneath a tail here or between the legs there. But the cells dividing inside each one, continents apart, are actually the same organism. If you can call a clump of 6,000-year-old cancer cells an organism.

    These ancient cells were once part of a dog that roamed the frozen Siberian steppe, a husky-like creature that lived in the time before humans invented the wheel or the plow. Then they mutated, finding a way to evade the canine immune system, a way to outlive their body by finding another. This cancer-cum-sexually transmitted dog parasite still thrives today, the only remnant of that now-extinct Siberian dog race. For millennia, it has been jumping between bodies, spreading like a virus around

    This particular cancer is found around the dogs sexual organs.
