i must be behind the times but it is amazing project and on the telly they were showing the dog sitting down by the cancer sample ...................there must be more stories of dogs reacting to human illnesses or telling others of death?

Yep I can remember years ago that dogs can detect cancerous skin blemishes/moles etc, and that is without any training. Simply the dog wanting to sniff and lick the mole on a regular basis was a good insicator!!
