DAISY, DILL WOODY AND ME: MY LIFE WITH THE CANCER DETECTION DOGS
Book ID/图书代码： 12100015B79695
English Summary/英文概要： The best cancer detecting machinery that science has so far created is only about 85% accurate and, obviously, hugely expensive and slow. Amazingly dogs’ sense of smell is so sensitive that after they have been properly trained, they are more
than 90% accurate. They are also a lot less expensive than the machines, a lot quicker and a LOT nicer to be around.
Back in the early noughties when Claire Guest began her experiments to work out how to train dogs to detect illness the scientific establishment scoffed and even she questioned her own sanity a little as she laid out endless little bowls for her dogs to pick on her parent’s kitchen floor. But her persistence bore fruit and surviving her own cancer scare – which she was alerted to by her own dog, Daisy– Medical Detection Dogs is now at the forefront of one of the most exciting new developments in medicine of the century and a whole new chapter in the ongoing story of our relationship with man’s best friend.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 目前科学技术能够创造出来的最佳癌症检测设备也只有85%的准确率，并且非常昂贵，运作速度也很慢。令人惊讶的是，狗狗拥有非常灵敏的嗅觉，经过适当的训练，它们探测癌症的准确率可以高达90%以上。和机器相比，它们也更加经济、迅速、友好。
20世纪初，作者刚开始进行训练狗狗检测疾病的试验便遭到了科学界的嘲笑，甚至连她自己都在无尽的试验过程中对自己产生怀疑。但她的坚持结出了丰硕的果实 ，而她也因为狗狗Daisy检测出了自己的癌症而躲过一劫。现在，“医疗检测犬”已经成为本世纪医学界最令人激动的发展之一，也为人类与狗狗世世代代的友好关系揭开了新的篇章。（LYR）
