doggie breath, it can save your life

another amazing animal fact for your reading pleasure:
Dogs can detect if someone has cancer just by sniffing the person's breath, a new study shows.
Ordinary household dogs with only a few weeks of basic "puppy training" learned to accurately distinguish between breath samples of lung- and breast-cancer patients and healthy subjects.


Now, if I can only convince Max that cancer breath = cookies, we're in business!
