Why not?

We use dogs to detect many things, their sense of smell is far beyond ours..

Drugs, money, accelerants etc and work has been going on in the medical field for ages..

if we could train dogs to sniff out a virus why would we waste millions on mri scans for cancer…

No... Its definitely a thing, they are training dogs and some countries are using them at airports etc. Dogs have an amazing sense of smell, beyond what we can even imagine. They can smell something in the sweat of a person with covid apparently.

Tbh I'm not sure if it's the same type of issue, the virus can be shed by a person so it will be on the skin etc though unsure if cancer works the same way?

This is completely true, they can detect many diseases included malaria and Alzheimers.

The reason why they aren't used more widely is the dogs have to be highly trained and not all breeds can do it. Training take a lot of time and money and there are simply not enough resources, trainers or dogs.

Cancer is different but it still changes the bodies chemistry which is what the dogs may be able to pick up.

Dogs have been trained to identify everything from cash to cancer,

Absolutely incredible.

One of my dogs as a skill... a terrible skill for knowing when someone is pregnant... He outted my family member as pregnant by fussing over her way more than normal, she was very early on and not ready to tell people but him softly sniffing her belly, whining and escorting her around carefully gave her away. He did the same throughout my sister's pregnancies previously. They can smell the hormone changes and basically my lad trys to look after pregnant women. Lol

My local hospital already does Cat Scans and lab reports so they're already using cats and dogs in the medical world.

Finland had them in Helsinki Airport last summer. Its phenomenal just how sensitive their sense of smell is.

Ideal for airports and other gatherings, to screen people before they potentially know they have an infection

Results in a minute! Then do PCR tests for confirmation, before quarantine.

Parkinson's disease can be sniffed out by one woman, who is assisting the University of Manchester with research into better diagnostic processes for Parkinson's.

See the UoM website, article entitled "Scientists move closer to developing ‘game-changing’ test to diagnose Parkinson’s" from 11 March 2021.

Dogs are being assessed for the ability to sniff out different cancers, but this is currently only experimental:

"The science of sniffs: disease smelling dogs" on the website 'Understanding Animal Research' from 19 June 2020.

Medical assistance dogs are already in use to smell the signs of impending epileptic seizures and uncontrolled diabetes. Check out the website 'Medical Detection Dogs.'

Research been going for some time, from the early days of the pandemic - university of durham have been involved in the research.

What’s being reported now is 94% accuracy in closed environment.

Fascinating

They've already trained dogs to detect cancer in urine samples long before they're detectable by normal means.

Cats ?? have been here since about a year ago. They don't give a single f***.. Apparently if you don't fuss them as and when, they text track and trace from your phone asking for respite care as you are quarantined. .

The moral is make sure that your ?? Is happy 24/7.

Don't all thank me at once.

Though I wish you would all message my Ex en masse.

Whilst dogs are very educated naturally and have the ability to learn to use the skills they have taught in a way by humans are able to use them for the advantages for many reasons. Whilst most people think even a cat or dog are not aware what us as humans say just because they might not respond doesn't mean they don't know they are able to read human beings and make wise decision. Tried and tested.

Reading

About six years back. I came back from visiting friends in Asia . In my luggage was some food that friends had made for me to bring back. When going thru customs a spaniel appeared and stopped in front of me sitting down. Looking up at me and tail wagging. As I had hand free , patted dog on head and moved around it. Dog then quickly did same thing and stopped in front of me again. Then a couple of customs guys appeared. Asked me to go with them. To obvious looks from every one else in customs area. Dog had smelt the food in suitcase. It was triple wrapped in foil and in sealed freezer type bags. Some food customs confiscated. But was allowed to take rest with me. I still do not know how that dog managed to narrow the smell down to my suitcase. Seeing the amount of people going thru at that time.

Dogs can be trained to detect almost anything; they have up to fifty times more receptors than humans and their sence of smell is up to 100,000 better.

However, brachycephalic bogs such as pugs and bulldogs with short noes are disadvantaged.

The American dog with the most amazing sniffer is the Coonhound, but Springer Spaniels are popular in the UK and Ireland. Coonhounds are very rare in Europe.

I think they want to replace cat scans with dog scans.

My dog told me when I was 1 week pregnant. I didn't know why she kept staring at me for another week after that. Then I went off my breakfast...
