I'm sure I have heard of it - isn't it fantastic what dogs can do? It's a pity people spend so much time breeding them to look cute and fit in ****** handbags rather than constructive uses.
Aren't you glad I restrained myself from a rant about Crufts last week.

Dog breeding is one of my pet hates I find it a total contradiction that people can claim to be animal lovers and then promote the breeding of dogs for characteristics that are terrible for the animals well being

I would think they could sniff out quite a few things like that. After all Dry rot is a fungus and dogs sniff out truffles.
There are also dogs that can sniff out cancer in urine, not sure how advance those studies are but they have managed to detect a cancer case that the medics didn't.
