medical Detection Dogs

Take a look at the link for the video, Millie is a real cutie!!!



Medical Detection Dogs are helping their owners lead a normal life – and can save the NHS millions.


A growing army of medical alert canines are proving dogs truly are man’s best friend.

UK charity Medical Detection Dogs trains clever pooches to detect specific health risks and warn their owners of the danger.

The charity was in the spotlight recently when the Duchess of Cornwall agreed to become a patron.

And for diabetes sufferer Yvonne Nicholson from Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, her four-legged warning system has truly transformed her life.

The 53-year-old has suffered from fiercely unpredictable swings in her blood sugar levels.

There are usually no warning signs before an attack. For 30 years she has lived in constant fear of collapsing.

Yvonne couldn’t leave her home alone and even when she drifted off to sleep at night, she feared she would slip into a coma.

Now all that has changed — thanks to Millie her medical alert dog

Dogs senses are amazing,  They sense things long before they happen, and it's only a little dog as well,
