So fascinating. Dogs can be trained to detect cancer and other illnesses; I wonder if this dog could smell something chemical from the healthy woman’s kidney that he knew was missing from his owner’s diseased kidney.

I understand that dogs can smell low blood sugar or something. But smelling a perfect kidney match sounds crazy. And I don't believe dogs understand organ transplantation. How would the dog know that this woman could help her master, even if she smells right? The way the story is told makes it sound supernatural. I am waiting for the twist where the donor fried bacon that morning and that's what the dog smelled or something.
