COVID-19-sniffing dog adds extra layer of protection at Sarasota hospital  Kimberly Kuizon reports SARASOTA, Fla. - COVID-19 screenings have become a regular practice at Doctors Hospital of Sarasota. Now there s an extra tool to help detect the virus. It comes with four legs, a wagging tail and a sensor-packed nose.  She loves to smell and sniff things so we just honed in on that unique talent that she has, Laska Parrow, a certified service dog trainer with Southeastern Guide Dogs, explained.  Buffy is a two-year-old yellow Labrador retriever. She trained for nine months with Southeastern Guide Dogs.  We trained on many different patients, positive and negative for COVID, said Parrow. 

Buffy the virus detector: COVID-19-sniffing dog on staff at Florida hospital

(Tribune News Service) Three days a week, Buffy greets visitors at the entrance to  Doctors Hospital of Sarasota. If they grant permission, she sniffs their feet seeking a whiff of active COVID-19 infection. Few decline the offer when they see the yellow Labrador retriever with a wagging tail. People generally don’t love going to a hospital, said CEO  Robert Meade, but, “Who doesn’t love labs?” Buffy was trained by  Southeastern Guide Dogs as part of a four-dog pilot program for scent detection.  Southeastern Guide Dogs has for years trained the service animals and provided them for free to disabled veterans and people with vision loss. Scent detection, however, was new territory.
