Fancy that

CBS reports that

Researchers in California and in Cambridge, England, are successfully training man's best friend to smell out one of his worst enemies.

Researchers say dogs can be more accurate than current cancer tests and represent a breakthrough in cancer detection.

In September, a leading medical journal in Britain, the BMI, gave its blessing. The journal published the results of the first ever meticulously controlled, double blind, peer-reviewed study on the subject, stating, “The results are unambiguous. Dogs can be trained to recognize and flag bladder cancer.”

Pete's Comments:

A friend in the USA is reported as saying that immediately after your dog starts to lick you a lot get yourself down for a CAT scan.

How appropriate! When it's raining it is raining cats and dogs!
