These dogs are trained to “get to know” a person with diabetes by interacting with them in a certain way, such as licking their face, kicking their legs, or giving them a hand. The canine companion can also be trained to retrieve juice or glucose tablets, get help from another person in the house, or get an emergency phone.
3. Dogs for cancer research
Dogs can also be trained to detect the smell of cancer. Dogs can detect cancer because cancer cells release different metabolic waste products than healthy cells in the human body.

By command, these dogs can be sent to stop repetitive behavior or to remind a child of an opportunity.
