A new book from New York Times bestselling author Maria Gudavoa about dogs-doctors.
Dogs are better than any electronic device at detecting, for example, cancer—they can do it by smell. In the same way, dogs can warn a patient in advance about the approach of seizures or spasms, about sudden sleep attacks and fainting. They accompany sick children and adults, becoming not only friends for them but also reliable support. The author tells how these dogs are trained and prepared, and what bonds form between them and the people who often entrust them with their lives.
