Resplendent in pink trimmings, including the Mabel's pink lease and the pink ribbon tied around her collar and Ms Parsons' pink-tinged scarf and pink wristband, the pair were selling five boxes of pink ribbons all along Bong Bong Street.

Ms Parsons said she had received more than a few offers from people to purchase Mabel to help raise funds for breast cancer research - but the pooch she recently rescued from the pound was not for sale.

Ms Parson has sold ribbons on Pink Ribbon Day for the past nine years, but this was the first year she had employed an offsider to help her in her annual crusade.

A breast cancer survivor, Ms Parsons gave up some of her time off work on Pink Ribbon Day to help raise funds for breast cancer research.

She said research was the key to stopping women dying from breast cancer, which was why she had volunteered her time, and energy, as well as Mabel's, into supporting Pink Ribbon Day.

"The value of this is it goes into better treatment of breast cancer," she said.

According to the NSW central cancer registry, 131 women living in the Wingecarribee Shire contracted breast cancer in the five years from 1999 to 2003.
