:02:19. > :02:21.a blaze in Covent Garden. They were called to a shop

:02:24. > :02:33.by detecting cancer are now being trained to identify

:02:34. > :02:35.people with malaria. Claire Guest from Buckinghamshire

:02:36. > :02:38.set up the Medical Detection Dogs charity after she believed her own

:02:39. > :02:40.Labrador alerted her The bond between Claire and her

:02:41. > :03:05.beloved dog Daisy is a strong one. It was her Labrador's

:03:06. > :03:07.behaviour around her at their Buckinghamshire

:03:08. > :03:08.home that she believes saved her life,

:03:09. > :03:10.detecting cancer. She kept nudging into my chest,

:03:11. > :03:13.led me to find a bruised area, I felt it for a few days and

:03:14. > :03:17.eventually got it checked out and I was

:03:18. > :03:21.eventually diagnosed with a very, very deep-seated

:03:22. > :03:23.but early-stage breast tumour. Since then, Claire

:03:24. > :03:25.has set up a charity where dogs are trained

:03:26. > :03:27.to detect not only cancer It costs ?12,000 to train them

:03:28. > :03:32.to recognise different diseases and it is all done

:03:33. > :03:38.through fundraising. What we tend to do is not use dogs

:03:39. > :03:45.from one project and move them on to another one,

:03:46. > :03:48.so a cancer dog would tend to always stay on a cancer

:03:49. > :03:51.project, and we would train new additional dogs

:03:52. > :03:53.for our new projects. So our malaria projects would have

:03:54. > :03:56.dedicated malaria detection dogs. A child dies every two minutes

:03:57. > :04:02.in Africa because of malaria. Medical teams in the Gambia are

:04:03. > :04:05.working with the centre to detect the disease there so that people can

:04:06. > :04:07.get early treatment. I think the potential for this

:04:08. > :04:10.work is absolutely huge. Dogs are incredibly sophisticated

:04:11. > :04:17.biosensors, they can detect Just think what that

:04:18. > :04:20.difference that will make in the future to diagnosis,

:04:21. > :04:23.it will save thousands of lives, Claire knows Daisy is

:04:24. > :04:30.coming to the end of her days, but her legacy will have

:04:31. > :04:32.been to save so many It will be a mostly cloudy start
