Imagine the do-it-yourself testing kits.
They'd be sold as Beagle in a box.

Good, put them to work, I say, there every bit as smart as most two-leggeds & smarter than many.
Actually they love to be thought of as useful members of "the pack".
Many of their OCD disorders stem from boredom.
Schnauzers(I hear the jokes comin' already) were specifically bred as work dogs.

Eh why not. Modern medicine is going to the dogs anyway.

Cat scans and lab work indeed! You're one funny guy! I can just see a dog coming in wearing a white lab coat with a name tag on so that they can bill the insurance company for his "diagnosis."
It may be that some things are worse than being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

LOL!
However, I think this is great! Cheaper than a full body scan, and maybe with time, far more accurate. Dogs have amazing smell.

It may be that some things are worse than being diagnosed with prostate cancer.Dogs would probably enjoy the opportunity to diagnose colon cancer. Could that be what they're doing when they meet other dogs? Practicing medicine?
Maybe they could train gerbils to sniff it out within a certain sector of the population that would particularly appreciative of that diagnostic technique.
To: Lonman219
Great! Now they're gonna sniff our butts too! Dogs already do that every time they greet anyone. We might as well get some benefit from it.
To: coloradan
I can stand the sniffing, maybe, but leg-humping is DEFINITELY not going to cut it...

Ah yes!
The new federal program at the C.D.C., "Scratch and Sniff!"
(Muzzle not included. Dog food sold separately.)
To: mountaineer
GERBILS! Now you're really creeping me out, man.
