Can Dogs Detect Covid-19?

The sense of smell of dogs is very useful, they can have 100,000 times the smelling ability of humans and they can sniff out explosives or drugs. Therefore, these pooches are the closest friends of police officers. Scientists at France’s National Veterinary School have revealed that dogs are experts at sniffing out COVID-19, with an accuracy close to PCR tests.

In Dubai, specially trained police dogs were used to assist police to detect passengers who have SARS-CoV-2 arriving at Dubai International Airport. Similar research is underway at the University of Helsinki, Finland.

In the near future, it is likely that our four-legged friends will sniff out COVID-19 at airports to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus among travelers. With the special study, sweet samples from the armpits of 335 people were tested by PCR and there are 109 people who were positive. Nine dogs were trained to sniff out signs of SARS-CoV-2 infection can indicate positive samples with an impressive sensitivity of 97%.

Of course, using trained dogs is the basis for supporting rapid tests to detect infected people at the earliest. However, we still need a PCR test to determine whether a person is infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19).

On another research conducted by the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover in Germany, published in July 2020. Eight dogs were trained for a week to detect SARS-CoV-2 in saliva or tracheal secretions from people with COVID-19. The research found that the dogs determined the difference between positive and negative samples. On average, dogs can identify correctly 82.63% of positive samples as positive and 96.35% of negative samples as negative.

There is still a lot of research needed to conduct before applying widely in airports, but this may offer a new hope to detect infected people in time, prevent the pandemic as soon as possible.

Can Dachshunds be police dogs to detect COVID-19?

Dachshund is a small and may be a tough dog breed. Used to be bred to hunt badgers both above and below ground. As one of the top 10 dog breeds have the best sense of smell and this dog breed is very smart, the dachshund is an ideal choice to assist police officers to detect COVID-19. However, these four-legged friends are not easy to train to be police dogs because they are so mischievous. So they should better be owned at home.

Can Dachshunds Recognize A Good And A Bad Person?

Dachshunds have always been considered as best friends of humans. They have a lot of special gifts and can be trained to be an effective assistant.

However, scientists have continued to discover one more interesting feature of dachshunds, which is the natural ability to help them easily identify who is a good person and who is a bad person.

Specifically, an interesting study was carried out by the Kyoto University scientists, announced and published in the Animal Cognition, in which they demonstrated that doxie friends are a highly social-conscious animal. can feel when you are happy, sad or angry, more specifically, they can recognize someone unreliable through some simple signs.

In the study, the scientists did 3-step tests with 34 dachshunds and other dogs. As a first step, they instructed the dogs to come to the boxes with the food inside, the second step, they were taken to empty containers with nothing, and to the last step, the dogs were pointed to boxes with food, but this time, because of their lack of trust, they did not react strongly to human suggestions.

However, if you continue to repeat step 1 after going through the three steps above, the dogs quickly believe and follow the order.

The scientists concluded in the study as follows: “These results show that dachshunds or dogs are not only capable of understanding human gestures well, but they also make their inferences about credibility. depend on one person through his actions, then change behavior flexibly depending on that reasoning”.

Lead researcher Akiko Takaoka said: “Dachshunds have a higher sense of social intelligence than we think. This intelligence has grown selectively in the history of sticking to people’s lives all the time.

Specifically, this study assumes the situation when the owner is in trouble and then asks people to help while leaving the dachshunds beside and watching. Finally, the researchers realized, the puppy did not receive food from those who had bad behavior or appeared rude to their owners, instead, they proved very friendly to those ready to help the victim.

A New Study Finds That Dachshunds Can Help People Increase Longevity

A new study of Swedish scientists showed that owning dachshunds or other dogs will help the owners increase longevity. And do you believe? It can help the owners reduce the risk of death by up to 33%. Many people have been arguing about this study.

Scientists at Uppsala University, Sweden, surveyed 3.4 million Swedish people aged from 40 to 80 and male rate is 48%. The results showed that single people who own dachshunds can reduce the risk of death by up to 33% and the risk of cardiovascular death by 36%

Owning dachshunds helps Swedish people improve their health.

The study results were based on the national database for 12 years in Sweden and were published in Scientific Reports.

In addition, the study showed that owning dachshunds also brings the owners certain health benefits such as reducing blood cholesterol, limiting sudden hypertension, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases because the owners tend to be more active.

“Dachshunds play an important role in limiting the risk of cardiovascular disease and sudden death for single people. These people are also at risk of developing cardiovascular disease and death compared to those who live in a family with multi-member.” Said Mwenya Mubange, a graduate student at Uppsala University.

The study showed that the benefits are not only for people living alone, they are also the healthy benefits for those who live in a family with multi-members. In particular, the people who often care for dachshunds can reduce the risk of death by up to 11% and reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by 15%.

“Besides, dachshunds are also considered pets which can support their owner on spiritual side, and I have seen that in my experience. The four-legged friends helped me reduce stress in stressful situations. In addition, they can also help me ease pain.” Added Dr. Sue Kim, an internal medicine doctor at Stanford Health Care.

In addition, scientists believe that dogs help boost the immune system thanks to dirt what the dogs bring to the house. Besides, the four-legged friends can also help children reduce asthma and allergies. And for the adults, the dogs can help them reduce stress, restore blood pressure quickly after stressful events.

The study is true only in Sweden?

Almost people did not agree with the about results. According to The Verge News, this study still exists and there are many factors affect the study results.

For example, people who live alone and own dachshunds all have a lower risk of heart disease and they are healthy. Physical health of each person will be different, even after adjusting for smoking factors, body indicators and socio-economic status.

According to The Time News, the study was performed on almost Swedes, it’s probably true for some European countries where there are the same standard of living, culture, and dog ownership thinking… But are Asia or other countries culture the same results? That is still a question for researchers to solve in the future.

In addition, CNN News stated that although the study provided strong evidence of health benefits when owning dachshunds. But it had not resolved the question that whether it is depended on age, living style, living condition…

Dachshunds are the rare breeds that, because of their small size, are good for both hunting and urban living. Therefore, they help their owner do more exercise and have a healthy lifestyle.

“When living in a cold environment, dachshunds will want to be walked by their owners. And in hot climates, they just want to be in the yard and do not want to go out. Besides, it also depends on the behavior and health of the people. It’s difficult to get the exact result when the study performed in Sweden and applied for the US” said Fall, veterinarian and epidemiologist professor at school Swedish university

Some people have other opinions that when talking about relieving stress, many people like to own other dogs or even other animals like cats. And of course, these animal can help the owners have a good health.
