ResponderEliminarNowadays, we are not able to know how diseases smell like, but dogs can do it. They can tell us that, but we know it. Many dogs have been trained to sniff out different ills, like cancers or malaria. When we see a dog, it is continually sniffing whatever it has around it.
ResponderEliminarThey have an incredible smell because of their 350 million sensory receptors dedicated to olfaction. They can detect many diseases because their noses have been trained to do it. This happens because when we are ill, our odour tends to change. Also, because of this amazing sense of smell they are used by police to search for a missing person. Besides all this, it is the only company that many people have, so, we can say that they help a lot in our society.
At this moment, scientists of many different universities are finding out that as dogs can detect many diseases, they are also able to sniff out coronavirus. They are very good at learning so they learn how this virus smells and they will be capable of detecting it. There are many scientists who think that this is something fantastic, because this animal can detect a lot of infected people very quickly.
To sum up, I think that it can be a fantastic advance in this pandemic. Obviously, if it does not imply mistreatment of animals. Many cases can be detected with this project.
People do not know how viruses or diseases smell, but studies are showing that dogs can do it. Many of these animals have been trained to detect various diseases such as malaria or cancer.
ResponderEliminarSometimes we find dogs very distressing because they rush towards us and start sniffing at us. This is due to the 350 million sensory receptors for smell. For this reason, many dogs are being trained and trained to develop their sense of smell and detect diseases such as the one currently experienced with Covid-19. Experts think that this of dogs can become a fabulous discovery because many infections can be detected.
Anyway, from my point of view I think this article is very interesting because it is an advance for science and above all a great advance in this pandemic that is getting out of hand. This project could save many lives and reduce a large number of infections.

If they are dogs capable of smelling and preventing many viruses due to their sense of smell. How do you think they discovered the virus? Or still do not know?
ResponderEliminarWe all know the ability of dogs to smell, since their smell has many receptive sensors, which allow them to smell very well and from a long distance. It should also be noted that some dogs, due to their good sense of smell and fitness, are taken as a new member of the body by the police and the civil guard, who are assisted in customs so that drugs do not enter or even in house searches, cars and street
On the other hand, they would also be useful to be able to prevent the virus, as they already did with other diseases, so they should be scienfied to do research with the dogs, but if they later have any disability or injury that allows them to live the life they had.
I think that dogs are very intelligent animals and could help the vaccine for the virus and even for other diseases.
At the beginning of quarantine, many people abandoned their pets believing that they could transmit the coronavirus. But a scientific study proved the opposite, saying that animals could suffer from coronavirus but not transmit it. Javier Rivas López 2 ° ESO A.

ResponderEliminarToday we do not know what diseases smell like, but dogs do, studies show that dogs can. Many dogs have been trained to sniff out different diseases, such as cancer or malaria.Dogs often sniff things around them, and dogs sniff people they don't know.
ResponderEliminarDogs have such a developed smell, 50 times higher than humans. Many dogs are being trained to develop their sense of smell and are therefore capable of sniffing and detecting the coronavirus.
the police use them to search.
Since dogs are capable of detecting who has the coronavirus, it is even capable of detecting it in an asymptomatic person, they could put them in public places such as an airport, to prevent more and more infections from occurring.
From my point of view, this article has been very interesting, since I think it can be a fantastic advance in this pandemic. Many cases can be detected with this project
It is very common to have dogs or any kind of company animal. They are excellent companies to defeat loneliness and what´s more it is believed that they are able to sniff out Coronavirus. Really amazing, right? But, how can they do it?
ResponderEliminarRecently, dogs have been trained to identifying people infected with Covid-19. Many experts have done experiments with dogs to check if they are able to detect the disease, and they have discovered that using the saliva of the people, this animals are capable to guess if someone is infected by coronavirus in a record time. Scientists say that apart from they have a very good sense of smell, they can detect a specific smell that changes in the body of a sick patient.
It is true that dogs have been used in medicine for a long time to detect different diseases, as well as, malaria or cancer. But scientists point out that dogs could be a essential piece for our future. Not only in medicine, but also in other areas like airports or events to help prevent further outbreaks of the virus.
To sum up, dogs are incredible animals capable of detect people infected with Covid-19 and even many other diseases. From my point of view, this new discovery could be a progress for science and could help to reduce the number of infections.

ResponderEliminarHello Alberto!
ResponderEliminarI think it’s amazing that dogs could detect COVID-19 because the goverment will save a lot of money that could invest in health personnel and medical supplies.
Also,the dogs would detect the COVID-19 much faster than the PCR tests because you have to wait for the results and it would be more comfortable than the tests.
It’s very important to detect COVID-19 in the airports before the visitors enter to the country,that could help to control and eradicate COVID-19 in the world.
DANIEL COOKSON KAMEL 4º ESO A.
I have think since I was little that dogs were too intelligent, but I never imagine that they could be able to track people infected by coronavirus.Is a very helpful things for the doctors, but i wouldn't trust too much, dogs can make a mistake too, or even we can think that dogs are saying one thing and they try to say otherwise. Is very good that dogs be able to do this things, but I wouldn't leave such an important thing in hands of the dogs, I think that they help us in much things and the coronavirus we can leave it to expert and people specialized in that.
ResponderEliminarHowever we need to be grateful about dogs, they make humans much more happy, and some one even gives more years of life, as the days go by I realize more and more that dogs are essential in our lives. I really don't know what i'll do with out my dog.

I think that animals are so intelligent, because they can do things that a human can´t. Dogs have the sense of smell so developed, 50 times higher than the human.
ResponderEliminarOn a lot of occasions I saw some police dogs that are smelling and tracking in public places. It is so interesting to see these situations, because it surprises me with their ability to find things.
I know that dogs can smell a lot of things, but I hadn’t heard that dogs could also smell a virus or diseases.
I think that if the dogs are able to smell the Covid, it is very useful to stop the contagion by Covid-19, because if in the places where there are many people there are dogs that can smell the contagion, it will stop the virus a little.
RAQUEL PEINADO TORRES 4ºA
In my opinion animals are very intelligent and it is very surprising to know the capacities of the senses of dogs.
ResponderEliminarIt is curious to know that dogs can track covid-19 by smell.
In this way they would help us detect the virus faster than PCR tests.
LARA QUESADA SOSA 4ºA
In my opinion animals are very intelligent and it is very surprising to know the capacities of the senses of dogs.
ResponderEliminarIt is curious to know that dogs can track COVID-19 by smell, it takes dogs just 10 seconds to detect the presence of the coronavirus.
In this way they would help us detect the virus faster than PCR tests. The use of these animals can become a useful tool to stop positive cases. In airports they use this method of smell with dogs to detect if there are infected.
But I think it is safer for specialists to take care of this and not use dogs to track COVID-19 infections.

I didn´t know that dogs could detect a disease like Covid simply by smell, I think it´s something incredible and very interesting to investigate about it.
ResponderEliminarFrom my point of view, I think it´s a good idea to train dogs to detect Covid, as they do at airports to detect drugs, but I think that it must always be done respecting dogs because they deserve a certain quality of life.
ALBA ARELLANO MINGORANCE 4A
From my point of view, animals like dogs are so intelligent and their sense of smell is incredible.I think it is a very good idea to help us fight covid.
ResponderEliminarThere are many ways to find people with covid but this is the one that has surprised about the dogs' smelling abilities.
I was also very surprised the dog’s smell. I was aware that they had a good nose but I didn't know how much. In this way, dogs could be very useful to us, to combat covid.
But the bad thing is that in my opinion, we should not train animals for our own benefit, because like us they are living beings and that would not be fair to them.
RAÚL GARCÍA JIMÉNEZ 4A
When I read the news that dogs can smell people who have COVID-19, I thought it was fake news. But after seeing several news related to the same topic.
ResponderEliminarThe first country to start using dogs was Finland and they were used at an airport to identify passengers with COVID-19. According to some scientists, they can identify the virus days before symptoms are noticed, and with 100% effectiveness.
Here in Spain dogs are trained to this function. But their training can take five months, all this they can do thanks to their sense of smell that is millions of times superior to that of people.
I think it will be a avance, but I think we don´t have that much time because we are close to another house lockdown.
Alejandro Venegas Mancilla 2ºA
The scientifics found some dogs have got capacity of detect coronavirus. For this the police to coach them. In the Europe to make all countries. The police should more dogs to control it, so had were more them sure.
ResponderEliminarThe dogs always were of much help for the humanity.
Ruben Sabio Prados 2º ESO A
It is impressive that dogs can detect an infected with covid-19, the CRPs fail too much at the time of the result, the dogs are surely highly trained by professionals.
ResponderEliminarOliver Lozano Martín 2ºESO A
It seems incredible to me that there is finally a solution for people with symptoms of Covid-19. It is true that dogs can know that people are infected, but PCR tests are also necessary to be safe. I hope this has a cure and this pandemic ends.
ResponderEliminarDunia Arnedo Martin 2ºA
Traditionally , dogs has been trained to detect several diseases though their sense of smell like cancer or malaria but, did you know that currently they are able to detect coronavirus?.
ResponderEliminarThis amazing ability is due to the big quantity of olfactory receptors that they have and to the percentage of their brain dedicated to analyse smells, which is fourty times bigger than in the human brain. To do that, they sniff the saliva of people both healthy and infected and then, they can detect a specific smell in the samples which are infected. This training is based in a reward system. When they do something good , they get a candy and dogs believe that they are just playing.
This could be very useful because dogs could be used at points of entry in the country , such as airports to detect people infected by coronavirus or even asymtomatic people. In this way , authorities could have a new method of effective control and also faster than taking the temperature of every person in the airport.
I think that dogs are very smart animals and they can be able to do that so , I think it is a good idea to help to prevent coronavirus .
dogs are our daily companions. It is incredible that an animal can know if someone has it or not, I think it is very interesting and that there should be several trained dogs to find out that, since the pcr are very expensive and there are not enough for the population, it is a method very interesting to know if someone has mine or not, I think that in all hospitals there should be one to detect these things.
ResponderEliminarNowdays, dogs has been trained to detect several diseases though their sense of smell like cancer or malaria. The dogs are trained for expert, and the studies say that si really that they can detect diseases, it's impresionat that they can do this, becuase the experts can identify faster if one person have a bad diseases and if now the expert and the studies say that we can put in the list of diseases that are capable of identifying the Covid-19, It's a great news.
ResponderEliminarI think that now that the experts there are the dogs to help them to discovered new cases of Covid-19, I think that is a big progress in the battle with this disease and that they help our to pass this disease and win they, I think that if this works, the normality is getting closer, although we must to continue respcting the security measures that the government put.
I think that the dogs are to fascinate, they are the best friends of the humans, and in this cases this sentence charge greater force, they always stay here to ours.
I have always thought that dogs are very intelligent and help us in many things, before it was known that they could detect some diseases, but now it has been discovered that they can sniff out the coronavirus and detect it. As long as we respect dogs, this discovery can help us a lot, but they too can be wrong, so I think that this work has to be done by doctors and experts.

Animals are very intelligent, they have some more developed senses than humans, as the nose, I find very interesting when they detect drugs just by smelling people, but I didn't know that they would detect a virus just by smell, it's really incredible. I think it is a good idea for them to help us fight the virus.
ResponderEliminarDenisa Andreea Tomoroga 4º A
In my opinion i think dogs are very intelligent. I was very surprised that they can detect coronavirus in humans, That´s so amazing!!. I think the animals will change the world and I think they will help us humans a lot in the day to day.I'm very impressed.
ResponderEliminarDAVID PÉREZ MORENO 4A
In my opinion. Dogs are helpful during this pandemic because there are many people who don’t know they have the coronavirus and they go out. Dogs also detect asymptomatic people. I think that the dog can be wrong but in my opinion it is an animal very intelligent. There are many dogs that it helps peolpe who are blind and the people and the people who can’t move. I have a little dog and every day it surprises me.

I think it is a great advantage, although I do not think they would trust something as important as COVID-19, since they, like us, make many mistakes and it would be better to leave it in the hands of professionals.
ResponderEliminarMIRIAM NAZARET POZO MANCILLA 4ºA
I find this news very interesting.
ResponderEliminarAnimals in general are very intelligent and dogs in particular help humans a lot when it comes to researching, detecting substances, etc.
I know that dogs have a very developed sense of smell, but I never thought that they could detect a virus through their smell.
If this is true, it could help us a lot to move forward with the virus.

Now, dogs are test Covid-19 for us. They smell coronavirus, so if you have the virus, they know it. The dogs are virus infects detect, their smell use for rescues, detect explosives, fight vs criminals... The smell dogs are as reliable as PCR, they are the best, because they don't late two days in give us a test, they give us the test in seconds. The problem them is not all dog can the virus, only a few.
ResponderEliminarJose Antonio Sabio Prados 2ºESO A
Nowadays our canine friends are a secret weapon, because in addition to being our faithful friends, they can save our lives. Dogs are incredible animals, and in addition to being affectionate, they can cure many psychological diseases.
ResponderEliminarThere are already several studies, which demonstrate the ability of these animals to detect diseases. Not only common diseases, they can also detect diseases such as cancer. These dogs are trained to detect various types of diseases and are very helpful to many people.
A recent study seems to show that there are some dogs that are capable of detecting patients infected with covid-19. This is great news, because if the reliability of this method is demonstrated, it could be a great advance for this pandemic, and be of great help in this terrible situation.
I hope that it is shown that dogs can detect this virus, and so we can save on PCR test and invest the money in other things as important as this right now.

ResponderEliminarPeople are getting it a lot, going shopping or going to parties without a mask and things are getting very ugly, there are many people who are starving, and it seems to me that dogs can detect the corona virus is very important, because it is faster than any pcr and it is used for many other things, such as at the entrance of airports to see if a foreigner brings the covid and thus they do not have to do one before coming, although the vaccine is yet to come, any means to prevent contagion is welcome
In this last year 2020 people´s lifes has changed because to the existence of covid-19 and surely also during the first half half of 2021 we will also be affected. People worry very little, despiting the fact that the coronavirus can be deadly for some people. In summary, if dogs could detect the coronavirus, it would be a great advance in the investigation against this virus, it would help a lot since there are people who are afraid of PCR since they seem painful. dogs are impressive animals their sense of smell is highly developed and for a long time they have been used to rescue people in accidents, police dogs, dogs that help blind people even detect drugs.
ResponderEliminarTalking about dogs trained to detect COVID is not new. Countries such as Chile, France or the United Kingdom have long been assisted by canine units to detect those infected by coronavirus. Well, from this week if you land at Helsinki airport, you will be welcomed by a series of perfectly trained dogs. These dogs seem to be capable of detecting the coronavirus with almost 100% correct answers.

Having a dog is a great responsibility that many people have, but which they're not conscious of. It is a living creature's life what you're taking care of and it is not a toy or even an object; that's why we must think carefully about the decision of buying or adopting it.
ResponderEliminarFirst of all, it is much better adopting a puppy because it is free and you help an animal’s life, which is normally going to be killed. Dogs can also help depressive people because it can give them company and distraction for all day. One particular detail about this type of animal is that it can also help disabled people like blind people by showing them the way through the street without having the same difficulty as they had before. Other pets like cats are especially kind with their owners when they receive the care and attention needed.
Not everything can be advantages; there are also negative aspects, which we have to take into account. Firstly, not all pets have a good behavior, they can break things and reveal against you if you don’t treat them in the correct way. Secondly, if you have a dog for a long time, you can take affection with it; this means that most of the people feel especially sad when they die, which is a very sad situation. Buying pet food and accessories can also be expensive, which is an important factor to take bear in mind.
In fact, having a dog is a good option to make your life happier, but giving them the attention needed and having in mind the disadvantages and the money cost of keeping them, but despite all the disadvantages, having a dog can be great if you know how to treat it and look after it properly.
