| I have heard this before. On the breastcancer.org site you can see many threads on their message board about dogs and cats who seemed to know there was a problem with their owners before the women even knew. It's pretty amazing!

this can be explained by the fact that cancer cells release different molecules from those of their healthy counterparts and that difference may be perceived by the dog's highly sensitive olfactory system. | |
