That's amazing, I wonder how it smells like, but I probably wouldn't wanna smell it haha.

Amazing dog and person who trained him. It's hard to understand, how it's possible to sniff out bacteria. I was thinking that bacterias don't have specific smell.
This article again proves that dogs is amazing animals, who really helps to us. This is why they are called man's best friend.

This just shows that the dogs usability does not only as mans bestfriend, police dog, army dog, rescuer dog but also as a medical sniffer. This is another success for humanity using dogs capacity to help mans fight against sickness caused by bacteria. This will strengthen the relationship of dog and man since they are intertwined.

Thats a big achievement for the trainer and the unit that dog belong. I didn't think that dog can do that because Im think the dog is good only in drugs,bombs and others but now it can sniff a bacteria.

An amazing dog. He is a human friend, so it will be much more interesting and easier to cooperate with him in the medical field.

As a dog lover, this is truly an amazing feat. I hope in the future, dogs can sniffs out cancer and other diseases so that It can be prevented and cure.
They are not just man's best friend, they are man's savior.
