Dogs that detect cancer...?

Did you see that news report about a dog detecting cancer
in its owner? And the doctor agreed that it was the dog
who saved its owner's life? This is cool stuff.

Hi Jabber,

I hadn't heard of it recently, but I have heard of it in the past. Went to search out your story in Google and actually found several different - all fairly recent - stories on it.

Dog detects breast cancer in owner

Dogs Smell Cancer in Patient's Breath

Can Dogs Sniff Out Cancer?

Black Lab Better Than Lab Test at Detecting Cancer

Pretty Convincing, eh?

There is NO DOUBT this is happening all around our country and several of these Cancer Detecting dogs were from shelters. These people saved them not even knowing they would be saved by these remarkable dogs,and remember DOG spelled backwards is GOD!

Chatty,
I love that [dog spelled backwards is GOD]!!! Dogs are so incredible. My MIL's dog is small and was getting underfoot while I was trying to cook. I said, "Don't get under my feet
I'm gonna step on you." She immediately laid down the other
side of the snack bar out of the way. I couldn't believe it.

Dogs also can detect seizures before they hit. I have only had Sassy since May of last year, she was 3 months then and I swear she understands everything I say. I actually have to spell some words in front of her. My friends are amazed and I tell them it isn't just her, most dogs are very smart, but their owners are to dumb to see it...LOL!

I agree that dogs are smart. In fact, IMO most animals are smart. Having been raised on a dairy farm, I've seen how intelligent cows and horses and cats and even some fowl can be.
