Ten more days to a brand new Year of the Dog according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar!!
Why am I so excited about the Year of the Dog?
Firstly, Jel and I and a lot of our dearest friends are borned in the Year of the Dog. woof!
Secondly, dogs are my favourite-est animal. woof!
Thirdly, how can anyone not love those cute little puppies and doggies??? woof!
We all know that dogs are man’s best friend. If you think that’s not enough… be reminded that dogs guard our house and keep us protected; they guide the blind people and aid in their daily routine; dogs are a big help to the police force in detecting hidden drugs, locating missing items or people, chase and catch targets; and dogs are also found to be therapeutic to the sick!!
If the above cannot convince you enough that dogs are truly gifted and trustworthy, then how about this:
A recent research revealed that trained dogs can detect presence of cancer by picking up volatile compounds released by lung tumours into the breath of patients, sniffing the skin of skin cancer patients and the urine of those suffering from bladder cancer.
woof!
Cheers to all doggies in the world!
