Beagle Being Trained To Sniff Out Bacterial Infection!
12/14/2012 2:00 PM ET | Filed under: Inspiration • Health • Pets • Cuteness! • Dog • Crazzzzy • Beagle
He may be only two years old, but Cliff is turning into a real doggie doctor!
In the Netherlands, Cliff the beagle is learning to diagnose Clostridium difficile, a deadly bacterium that takes labs 48 hours to detect.
Cliff can detect the naughty bugs IMMEDIATELY and can alert the proper people….
The only bad part…is that Cliff has to sniff people's poop!!!
DAS POOP!!!!!!!
In his current training, Cliff correctly identified 47 out of 50 C. diff free stools (he couldn't decide on the other three) and identified 50 stool samples that contained C. diff.
Watch the video (above) to learn more about this ah-MAZ-ing poop detector!
