Training Dogs to Smell Diseases
Dogs have the ability to detect the smell of diseases like cancer. They can be trained to recognize specific odor molecules associated with various diseases, including bladder cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, Parkinson's, and malaria. This unique ability has led to the use of dogs as detection tools, which can potentially save lives by identifying diseases at an early stage. Researchers are even exploring the use of dogs to detect COVID-19 infections with promising results, providing an alternative to traditional testing methods.
