JASON: This is good news. This is EIB s High Note for the day. A new covid test that s a heck of a lot more pleasant than having a Q-Tip shoved up your shnoz. Dogs, covid-sniffing dogs can detect covid. That s why they re covid sniffing. Their powerful noses can detect all sorts of things drugs, explosives, you name it. You see them at the airport, right? Now they re being trained, believe it or not, to detect covid, even in asymptomatic people.
There is apparently a new specialty detection. One of the places doing it is the Assistance Dogs of Hawaii program. And they re working alongside Queens Medical Center. The chief physician there, Dr. Whitney Limm, tells us about this phenomenal discovery.
9 Kirtland Family Housing held an interactive service dog educational event for base housing officials May 25, 2021, at Kirtland AFB, N.M., featuring trainers and canines from Assistance Dogs of the West, a nonprofit organization based in Santa Fe, N.M.
The presentation, by Linda Milanesi, CEO and president of ADW, covered the extensive requirements candidate dogs must complete in their 18-24 months of training to qualify under the auspices of Assistance Dogs International, a coalition of not-for-profit organizations that train and place assistance dogs.
Attendees learned the differences between emotional support animals – family pets that may or may not be trained in obedience – and service dogs, which are professionally trained and certified to perform tasks for people who need them, under the Americans with Disabilities Act and New Mexico Service Animal Act.
