RICHMOND, Va. — Walter the Weather Dog, who has been joining CBS 6 meteorologist Zach Daniel for evening forecasts since 2018, has been diagnosed with epitheliotropic lymphoma, a form of oral cancer.

Walter had a procedure to remove a tumor on Monday and hundreds of CBS 6 viewers sent well wishes to their favorite weather dog.

Zach received Walter's diagnosis on Friday.

"Untreated, he has about a year," Zach said in a Facebook update.

The Daniels will be working with specialists to see how much more time they can comfortably give Walter.
