Medical Detective Dogs
Stormy, a standard schnauzer, works in a lab to detect cancer. Belle, a beagle that’s been called a “wonder dog,” is trained to sense when her owner is about to lose consciousness from diabetes. In Medical Detective Dogs, children will read many fascinating stories about dogs such as Stormy and Belle that use their sense of smell to detect deadly human illness and alert people who suffer from life-threatening seizures. Full-color photographs and narratives of heroic dogs in action will entertain young readers.
