gland tumors or breast cancer, and soft tissue sarcomas just to name a

concluded that dogs have the incredible ability to recognize the scent
of certain organic compounds in the human body, which are linked to the

traditionally hard to detect disease.

250 words while the average mutts can understand around 150 words.
