Ironically, she's been working on her manners and not charging ahead through doors and walking nicely on her lead and has been doing brilliantly. But we'll let her off today 😜

It's #BowelCancer awareness month and Callie and her colleagues are learning to detect its odour in urine samples. We believe the data they give us could help deliver an accurate, rapid and non-invasive test for early diagnosis.

Kyra says eat your greens...
This healthy girl is doing really well with her early scent training to become a Bio Detection Dog. She's the first of her breed to do this sort of work so we're really excited to see what the nose of a #hovawart can tell us!

Winnie alerts May to #pots collapses.
May says: “With Winnie I can meet people and go to uni or work without worrying that I'll faint without warning. She gives a 5 minute alert so I can either head off an episode or take action to mitigate its severity.'
