Britain:Dogs sniff out cancer from carrying patients

Summary

The idea of dogs being able to detect cancer may seem far-fetched, but considering the physiology of the canine nose, it may be a possibility. However, this possibility has changed into complete reality in Britain where dogs have set out on the task of sniffing diseases like cancer and sugar. A team of dogs has been assembled at the Britain research centre where the dogs are able to give feedback on the particular disease after going through blood or urine samples. According to the administration, the dogs test a series of blood samples one by one, and if incase a sample carries the disease, the dog simply pauses or sits down. Experts say that the dogs are also able to detect blood sugar out from the samples.
