Recently, studies have shown that dogs are able to detect the new pandemic, CoronaVirus. In Pennsylvania last week, a nearby college started training dogs to sniff out the virus and taught them what to do if a person is positive. So far, trained dogs are being used at Airports to test people before boarding their flights. The process is very easy and only takes about fifteen minutes. First, people are asked to either put their socks, mask, or sample of armpit sweat into a bucket. The bucket is taken to one dog and they will sniff it for about two minutes. If it is a positive case, dogs will be able to detect it within a few seconds. They will bark to alert the head doctor that the case is positive. To explain how well this works, Jenna Bush from the Today show went to an airport to get tested. She was told to take off her mask and put it in the bucket along with a tissue of her sweat and waited in a room with nobody else in it (since she did not have her mask). She explained how the dogs know positive from negative cases and found it fascinating how well it works. From one of the dogs, she tested negative but wanted to see if they were actually correct so she got a nose swab and tested negative. It is amazing that now anyone can be tested in a few minutes and get their results quickly. We know that dogs have one of the strongest noses on Earth, so it is no surprise that they can smell CoronaVirus. This is big for the United States, as well as other countries that started to train dogs!
