Dog sniffing cancer

I've heard of this before, too
It makes me paranoid, though, everytime my dog seems persistent about licking in a particular spot I start to panic. Silly, huh?
Anyway, I've not posted since you have joined the boards, but I'm dmc and my German Shepherd pup is Emmy (she's the cute pix above my name).
Dogs are really remarkable creatures, I think we humans don't give them enough credit.

I just read an article about that. Black labs were trained to smell cancer.

I too have heard of dogs sniffing cancer & believe it to be true. Now here's a twist....is it possible for a dog to smell Chemo? My big baby is usually all over me, especially when I am sick. I kid you not, since my Chemo Tuesday he has kept his distance from me. VERY unusual for him. Do you think it's possible he smells the poison?

Let me explain: The summer of my chemo, and for several summer after that, the mosquitos kept their distance from me, even in heavy mosquito seasons. This summer, well, the vacation was over...the mosquitoes were back and I was often a meal.
I suppose the same could be true for a dog, right?

I'm sorry
Makes sense to me.
I'm sorry your baby is avoiding you, though.
I wonder as you get further away from your treatments ... 2 weeks or more if his behavior will change? hmmmm.0 -

That's so funny you said that! Just last night Hubby & I were sitting on our front porch & he was getting chewed alive. Not one bite on me! He couldn't figure out why they weren't even coming near me, I jokingly said maybe they smell the chemo! Maybe he should sit closer next time! :-)

Will be interesting to see what he does! I do miss all of his attention though!
