Thats a cool article. Most people have no idea how much dogs (and the pedigree dog world) have contributed to medical science, or to other areas of 'human' benefit.

The ability to sniff out diabetes and cancer always amazes me, how cool is that.

A sanitised version of what dogs have had to endure. For each success there are thousands of failures. Even Pavlov's dogs required operations to attach special tubes. From memory Thalidomide was tested in dogs and found to be safe, though I could be wrong on that one. Animals metabolise and excrete drugs differently to humans so it's more of a medico-legal thing than a research tool to advance science. We tested it in animals and it didn't prove to be fatal!!!
