I was really impressed by this article. It was well written and I was suprised by what I read. I know that it has been said that animals can tell when something is wrong but I didn't know they had this ability.
I have seen a few different programs on this over the past several years and always amazed. A great revolution in the field of health thanks to our furry friends!
It sounds silly, but this is AMAZING! I once heard that a dog accurately identified the urine that came from patients diagnosed with bladder cancer, with one "false positive" - and that person was later diagnosed!
