"Cancer does have a unique signature odour, and this is what we train the dogs to detect." The dogs could smell volatiles emitted from cancer cells, Mrs Blomfield said. K9 Medical Detection New Zealand founder and chief executive Pauline Blomfield said the charitable trust was proud to be based locally on the Taieri conducting "world-leading" research. "I know that we all want to help prevent cancer in New Zealand," he said. Pupil Ruan Hamman (11) presented $600 worth of gold coin donations raised by the school to the charitable trust. A recent dress-up day at East Taieri School has raised funds for local science-based charitable trust K9 Medical Detection New Zealand.
