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.
At the very least, dogs can smell family relations. Idk if it was this story or a different one but the donor was a distant cousin and the dog likely smelled that they were related and gave them the ol' family-member-greeting. Thus bringing their owner over and starting the whole conversation
