Dogs can sniff out anything, even cancer

Filed under: Alternative Therapies I am very fond of canines, all breeds. I am of course partial to my dog, Barkleigh, she is an Australian Cattledog. I am sure she could sniff out the significant odor given off by the chemicals in cancer cells. After a brief training dogs are able to detect cancer, even in early stages. The dogs received an accuracy rating of 88 to 99 percent and weren't thrown off by cigarette smoke on the breath of the participants of the study. California scientists believe this could be another way of "dognosis" for early stages of cancer. This is just another reason to praise the dog. It is the year for it.
