It starts with Asher, a rescue dog with a troubled past that would make anyone’s heartache. Passed from home to home, Asher experienced untold trauma along the way. But the video below shows how Asher’s story transforms from tragedy to triumph.
When Claire Guest rescued Asher, it was clear to her the spaniel had a traumatic past. He had been rehomed many times unsuccessfully and used to run away. His experiences left him crying in fear and resulted in many behavioral issues. But Claire didn’t give up on him.
Through training and patience, Asher has become a member of the Medical Detection Dogs charity where Claire works. And Asher is now an incredible Bio Detection Dog who uses his nose to smell human disease. Dogs can help researchers and doctors diagnose people in a way that can be done rapidly and non-invasively.
Remarkably, Asher was the first dog to identify that COVID-19 had a distinct odor for researchers. Without a doubt, Asher’s work is life-saving. Claire and Asher make such a dynamic duo that the UK’s Kennel Club has nominated them in the Rescue Dog Hero category for 2023. Claire says that Asher is already a hero in her eyes, and she fully anticipates that he will continue to save lives for many years.
