Untreated mental illness
Setting aside cancer dog, 95% of the time when I see this lettering on a vehicle I know it's probably mental illness.
The other 5% is probably the best plumber in town
The "mental illness" and "plumber" categories can actually add up to be more than 100%.

Entirely seriously:
I once dated a person with diagnosed schizophrenia.
Obviously I cannot diagnose someone from their truck alone, but my first thought here is that this person is convinced their dog is being fucked with by their 'handlers' or 'gang stalkers', who have magic nonsense technology and tens of millions of dollars dedicated to fuck with him and his dog in particular, capable of using some kind of DEW to project thoughts and memories and voices into their had, beam cancer at their dog, etc.
... Or, that is my own CPTSD from having had a fairly longterm relationship with a schizophrenic talking.
I think it’s a poorly worded theory that dogs with colon cancer lick their buts and then lick you, giving you colon cancer.
Possibly they heard about the Tasmanian devils with cancer on their faces that spread by biting each other. Or possibly they know about HPV and cervical cancer and extrapolated from there.
It’s hard to say, but if they’ve had colon cancer and it’s been traumatic, I can understand wanting to get a message out. If you don’t have the education to do it other ways, mailbox letters on your truck probably make sense.
It's the American way
