According to KING5 TV News in Seattle, a Ballard, Washington area woman who detected breast cancer in her dog, has had the favor returned. Last year, Fay Cluckey’s American Exkimo dog Tinker Bell incessantly scratched at Faye’s right breast over a three month period, says Cluckey. Her daughter, Millie, urged her mother to go to the doctor. As a result, Faye’s breast cancer was caught early and treated successfully.
The irony of this story is that three years earlier, Faye found a lump on Tinker Bell’s breast. She took the dog to the vetrenarian and two surgeries later, Tinker Bell was cured of breast cancer.
A woman and a dog, so in tune with each other, they found each other’s cancer and saved each others lives. “Pay attention to your dog,” said Cluckey, “Don’t ignore it. If they’re obsessed with something, get it checked.”
