Blogs and dogs

You may have seen a post somewhere about a survey being done by the provider/middleman for Blogads. The results are in, and they make for interesting reading.

The genetic structure of dogs has been discovered, and there are some surprises and some huge potential benefits to the study of human disease.

However, for a disease such as cancer, genes are only thought to be half of the puzzle - environment also plays a role. And being the close companion of humans for millennia has exposed dogs to many of the same chemicals, foods, and lifestyles.

Ha! Mr.Modiano doesn't know Tigger! She can find Middle C as easily as Mozart!
