Wow! Wow! Wow! Animals are capable of so much. We have service dogs, police dogs, and more. Dogs can sniff for drugs, but have you ever imagined them sniffing for you being sick. Whew! I didn’t and it’s seems to be happening now.
This pandemic has been stressful on a lot of people. I limit my travel strictly to work, home, gas, and groceries. Straight essentials. lol. I’m not playing with folks. Some aren’t taking it seriously, but I’m sitting here thinking, how much are yall charging to train a dog to sniff COVID? I’m trying to see something. lol.
Well, 8 Labrador Retrievers are being used to test if dogs can indeed detect the sickness. It’s being done at the University of Pennsylvania. I’m curious at the outcome of this. If it works, whew! I wonder exactly how they will be used and in what places.
