The British Medical Journal published a ground-breaking research reporting how dogs have been trained to detect bladder cancer by its smell in urine, bringing together dogs’ exceptional sense of smell, with the theory that cancer produces chemicals with distinctive odours.

Purpose, love, healing… From abandonment to discovering the ability to help nurture the recovering hearts of abused children, Rudy’s story began in 2003 in an affluent New Jersey community.

HANDICAPPED PETS

When a family member is injured or grows older, the amount of extra care they need changes. Fortunately, advances in medicine and assistive devices help us care for them and make them more comfortable.

In a recent interview Denise Kaufman, a prominent yoga teacher in Los Angeles, commented “Animals move; people can learn about movement from animals. House pets stretch all day long, creating space in their joints. Animals sit in different kinds of positions..."

WINTER PET CARE

As the local humane societies warn: if it’s too cold outside for you, it’s too cold for your dog. Pets need their owners to help prevent illness and even death once the temperature drops. The following are timely tips to protect your pet companions in cold weather: Never let your dog off his leash in snow or ice....

Dogs and Christmas
If you have a live Christmas tree, keep the water stand covered. Pine sap mixed with water makes a poisonous drink for your pet. The smell of a live or artificial tree may cause your pet to urine-mark it. It may help to bring the tree into an isolated indoor room for a day or two, so that it smells more like "home." • Pick up any ornament hooks, tinsel, or ribbon that fall on the floor. Your pet could experience serious internal injuries if any of these items are ingested. If you have a dog or cat that is tempted to play with the ornaments on your tree, decorate the bottom third of the tree with non-breakable, plastic, or wooden ornaments, or decorate only the top two-thirds of your tree. • If you have indoor holiday lights, be sure they don't hang so low that your dog could become entangled in them. Remember to unplug the lights when you're not home to supervise your dog. • Poinsettias, mistletoe berries, and other popular holiday flowers can cause serious stomach upset for pets. Check with your veterinarian or local poison control center to find out what holiday plants and flowers you need to keep out of your dog's reach or click here for more info on poisonous plants
