Dogs sniff out colon cancer

Dogs get good marks again this week. They help us in many ways, but here is another way that's a surprise: Now it turns out they might be able to detect colon cancer nearly as accurately as a colonoscopy.
Who wouldn't be for that as an option? When smelling breath samples, Labrador retrievers were atleast 95% as accurate as identifying cancer as a colonoscopy and 98% correct for sniffing stool samples, the study found.
Maybe this will help tone down all the bad public relations last week about not snuggling with your pet in bed. Get a chance to vote on that issue yet? We're still checking the count.
