Dogs That Smell Cancer

Cute dogs are what keep us happy and healthy… but now they may also save lives from cancer. Turns out, man’s best friend can smell prostate cancer. Thanks to an innovative collaboration between the PCF, MIT, Johns Hopkins University and UK’s Medical Detection Dogs, scientists have demonstrated that dogs can smell cancer. The future of cancer detection may be a robotic nose or even a cancer detection app on your smart phone.

Dogs are a gift from heaven. My two dogs played an instrumental role in my recovery after prostate cancer treatment. Having them by my side was very comforting. They both have past recently, and I miss them dearly.

All dogs can smell cancer! My mom's dog smelled her breast cancer which alerted her to find the lump of a rapid progressing cancer. She first thought it was a little annoying that the dog kept pressing his nose in her armpit... But soon wondered. What is your obsession with this one spot? Get your nose out of there... And being a career nurse thought, Hmm there is a small lump there... And sure enough. It saved her from from a mastectomy or even death.
She still cries when she remembers how that dog probably saved her life..
I Say ALL dogs can smell it AND I firmly believe that all dogs will naturally find it instantly.. And With little to no training will naturally sniff obsessively in one spot.. Their sence of smell can smell many diseases if they form near the skin and possibly even more.. My intact Male Pit bull obsessively sniffed one spot on his own scrotum which led me to bring him to his vet and have him neutered. I asked my vet if he was going to test it for cancer. He said we don't because testicular cancer isn't a very progressive cancer. But it did stop him from sniffing that spot so im quite positive that I was the answer. . I don't neuter my males because I think they need the testosterone to grow. But after 5 years of age he will settle into the dog he was meant to be.. So If you find your dog sniffing one area on your body and you find he/She sniffing the same spot.. Trust me. It will be obvious.. You'll see the dog press their nose in and automatically sniff the same spot and hold its nose there using a range of different sniff patterns.. That smell seeps out of your pores.. Your dog can smell it faster than you'd be able to see it EVEN if you already marked the spot with a permanent marker.
Dogs have been trained to smell human remains at tha bottom of a lake..
You might think, how is it possible. But the dog can smell the dead flesh by the gas bubbling to the surface.
So, whether it's sniffing one spot on your body or it's own.. I recommend you think.. Hmm. What illness could I or the dog have there?

Imagine what a bear can detect with it's super-powered honker
