Dog saved owner's life

Maureen Burns, 64, has a 10 year old dog named Max and he saved her life. He began to exhibit some strange behaviors. He was a playful dog who became more withdrawn. He was smelling her breath and nudging her right breast.


She examined her breasts and found a lump. She visited the doctor but the lump did not show up on the mammogram. She asked them to take a biopsy because she was sure she had cancer.

“On the same day as the biopsy, I told my nurse that I already knew, as my dear dog had told me."

“I thought she’d laugh but she said she’d heard it before.”

Maureen had two operations to remove the malignant lump, as well as radiotherapy. Her prognosis is excellent.

Maureen is now supporting Cancer and Bio-detection Dogs.
