Emma Mertens giggles and her face lights up every time she looks at a picture of a dog. It's a good thing she feels that way because she's got 80,000 of them to look at -- with more pouring in by the minute. Family and friends had an idea a month ago to send the 7-year-old Wisconsin girl cute pics of their pups with well wishes as though they were penned by their doggies. They hoped it would cheer up Emma and her family after learning she has a rare form of brain cancer - one that has no cure. But no one expected what would happen next. One of 80,000 dog photos sent to Emma Mertens from pet owners worldwide. This one's name is Ginger.
