Too Sweet?

Since this blog began I have posted many different stories about how dogs change and save our lives. A new story today is about training dogs to use their keen sense of smell to detect changes in blood sugar by changes in breath odor. There is a characteristic smell that medical personnel are taught to recognize that possibly signifies a diabetic emergency.

Because a dogs sense of smell is so much more acute than ours they are able to detect changes before a crisis occurs. This is truly life-saving, and amazing. One more example- Mans Best Friend.
