Dogs Excel In Cancer-Sniff Study

CBS News | Dogs Excel In Cancer-Sniff Study :

"The dogs were almost always right in sniffing out who did or didn’t have cancer, write the researchers."

As I said before, researchers are leaving no stones unturned and are using a very creative approach to problem solving. Apparently dogs are fairly accurate about people who have breast cancer and lung cancer. I suppose the chemical changes in the body related to illness would be something for sensitive doggie noses to identify. It would be brilliant if we could have a screening test which was as easy as meeting one of our four legged friends. If nothing else it might take the ain and shock out of the initial discovery. Apparently the dogs are not even thrown off my smoke. I knew they were our best friends!
