Can Dogs Smell Cancer?
- Synopsis
- For 15 years, a handful of scientists have battled scepticism and ridicule to investigate the possibility that dogs could be trained to sniff out cancer. This film pieces together the cancer-sniffer-dog story from its roots in anecdotal tales of pet dogs alerting their owners to a problem to the ongoing research that has appeared repeatedly in medical journals for years. Most notably, the film has exclusive access to two trials that put dogs to the test under rigorous scientific conditions. The results are astounding and could begin to challenge our core belief in modern medicine.
