Man's Best Friend
I'm a dog lover. There will be no cat blogging on this blog. Now I have even more reason to prefer dogs - they can smell bladder cancer in human urine. If this works out in a real diagnostic setting (and so far the reliability is too low), it's easy to imagine what comes next.
On a related note, a co-worker is on a dog search and rescue team. She was out practicing with her group at a plane crash site when one of the dogs, trained as a cadaver dog, started turning up body parts. They called the sheriff's department, and by the time they arrived, they had a sizable amount of human remains and plane parts. I don't know about you, but I spend my weekends in less important but more enjoyable pursuits.

What other animal has completely trained another animal (humans) to feed it, house it, care for it, and devote many waking hours to its well-being? Cats don't have to do anything for themselves. Unlike dogs, cats don't even have to pretend to like their masters!
Don't get me started on cat people.

OK. Just don't bring a cat.
