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.
