Summary

A dog's sense of smell has long been harnessed to help humans by sniffing out drugs or explosives, guiding the blind along a busy pavement, or by alerting the deaf to doorbells and telephones. But Claire Guest, Chief Executive of the charity Medical Detection Dogs, has proven that in controlled scientific conditions, dogs can detect cancer cells where technology fails. Even better, their methods are non-invasive. Daisy was one of the first dogs that Claire trained to detect cancer in humans, and this is their story.
