Our Best Friends

In Doctor Dogs: How Our Best Friends Are Becoming Our Best Medicine by Maria Goodavage reveals the fascinating ways dogs are saving lives every day in their emerging roles as “doctor dogs” and, in new, exclusive pages, how these dogs are training to detect COVID-19 to slow or stop the spread of the pandemic. In this groundbreaking audiobook, Goodavage brings us behind the scenes of cutting-edge science at top research centers, and into the lives of people whose well-being depends on their devoted, highly skilled personal MDs (medical dogs). We meet dogs who detect cancer and Parkinson`s disease, and dogs who alert people to seizures and diabetic lows or highs and other life-threatening physical ailments. With her signature wit and passion, Goodavage explores how doctor dogs are becoming our happy allies in the fight against dozens of physical and mental conditions.
