Not only in the war against terrorism but also in terms of succeeding in the battle against cancer.
This documentary not only aims to educate and entertain its viewers, but also to open their eyes to the possibilities and broad range of applications that dogs have, while enlightening people about the direct impact these dogs can have on saving lives. The film also explores other important themes linked to early cancer detection, such as diet and lifestyle
