Dogs Best Technology in Cancer Detection

We all know dogs have a keen sense of smell...

But a new report says that in tests, dogs can best technology in detecting lung, breast, and other cancers.

Simply by smelling a human's breath, a trained dog is accurate 88-97% of the time, while multi-million dollar scanners boast an accuracy rate between 85-90%

I think if someone told me I had cancer, I might want to get a second opinion from a dog before subjecting myself to surgery!
