Those of you who are regular visitors to our website may remember our previous post (July 2021) about our Medical Detection Dog – Misty. Well Misty (along with a “colleague” Storm) made a slight career change and did some training in a care home setting ready for their future jobs in a #UTI pilot study.
This dream team will attend venues where vulnerable people are at risk of potentially life-threatening infections – Storm as a UTI detection dog who’ll passively sniff for the odour directly on people and Misty as a Community Assistance Dog on paw to offer mental health and physical wellbeing benefits to users of the service.

We are delighted that our investment in Misty back in 2018 continues to pay dividends!
