Emerging Science Note/Canine, M.D.

Living on Earth’s Jennifer Chu reports on a study that finds dogs may have a nose for sniffing out cancer.

Mold Dogs

We all know about dogs that can sniff out bombs and drugs. Now there’s another reason to praise the canine nose. Host Steve Curwood speaks with the owner of The Florida Canine Academy, where dogs are trained to detect indoor mold.

Ground Zero Dogs

Canines who reported for search and rescue duty at Ground Zero after September 11 were exposed to the same pollutants as the people who worked there. Host Steve Curwood talks with University of Pennsylvania veterinarian Cynthia Otto about the study she is launching to examine long-term health impacts on the dogs.
