They do have the ability to detect certain types of cancer. Dogs have nearly 220 Million scent receptors, against 5 Million for a human. Also their receptors are 10,000 times more accurate than ours.Even in the UK, they started training dogs for Covid detection since last March. I haven't read about the outcome.<snip></blockquote>
