Could the dog be an even better friend to man than we imagined? Two years in the making and boasting unique access to new scientific trials, this is the first ever in-depth account of dogs' ability to detect cancer in humans.

The documentary reveals the results of an astonishing new scientific study that suggests the dog could be better at diagnosing cancer than current technology. It also includes footage of a pet dog spontaneously alerting its owner to a potential cancer.

Also featured in the film is a new study which shows how dogs are able to detect chemicals diluted to one part per trillion, the equivalent of one pinch of salt on 10,000 tons of potato chips. That's between 10,000 and 100,000 times better than humans.

Taimur spend few days in the country side working with Jemima and Jon at the country cottage, which was a refreshing experience and change from working in London. You can read more about the project and even purchase a dvd of the film at http://www.passionateproductions.co.uk/film_can_dogs.htm
