Re: Dogs as Cancer Detectors
My shitzu did the same thing, he started sniffing my right breast before I was diagnosed. Now this is a dog that is very anti-social and doesn't like to be petted and for him to suddenly be in my lap sniffing my breast was weird. Of course it was my right breast with cancer. About a year after treatment, about a month before I was to have my scans, he started sniffing my right breast again. I was so upset , I just knew the cancer had returned and he was detecting it. Thank God his nose was not correct, may I was just dribbling food on my shirt or something...sherry
