Citizen Science: Training Pet Dogs to Detect the Spotted Lanternfly
Dogs have been used alongside humans as detection tools for centuries. There have been a multitude of studies published that demonstrate the accuracy and utility of detection dogs, more specifically conservation scent detection dogs. With ubiquitous agricultural threats in the United States, there …

The innate ability of pet dogs to spontaneously anticipate epileptic seizures
… of spontaneous seizure alerting behaviour by pet dogs and then to attempt to elucidate the sensory mechanism they used for doing so. Little was known about this topic when I started my research in 2014, when, to the best of my knowledge, only four limited studies had been published.<br/> …

Empirical constraints on the evolutionary origins of music
… animals by exposure to music. One study examines pet dogs, who receive extensive exposure to music courtesy of their owners. Another examines the effect of artificial music exposure on a colony of laboratory monkeys. Although there are a few potential homologies between the human response to music …

Studies on the epizootiology of canine cestodes particularly Taenia multiceps and ovine coenurosis
… multiceps was recovered from 37/320 (11.5%) dogs on 20/100 sheep breeding farms, 3/39 (7.7%) dogs on 2/18 sheep wintering farms and 41/552 (7.4%) hounds in 4/12 packs. The frequency of cestode infection in farm dogs and hounds was closely associated with the feeding of uncooked meat and offal …

Optimization and toxocologic effects of cancer immuno-electrogene therapy using a tumor-targeted interleukin-12 gene construct
… naturally occurring spontaneous neoplasms in dogs; and the results of comprehensive, pre-clinical toxicology testing of electrogene therapy (EGT) of a tumor-targeted version of interleukin-12 (IL-12) in mice. Intralesional bleomycin (BLM) and feline interleukin-12 (fIL-12) DNA injection …

Il cane come modello animale spontaneo di patologie neoplastiche dell'uomo: ene Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) Nnella predisposizione al cancro ed importanza dei riarrangimanti genici dei geni Ig/TCR per la diagnosi e prognosi delle malattie linfoproliferative
“Naturally occurring cancers in pet dogs and humans share many features, including histological appearance, tumour genetics, molecular targets, biological behaviour and response to conventional therapies. Studying dogs with cancer is likely to provide a valuable perspective that is distinct from …

Engineering Tumor-Localized Therapies for Cancer – from Antioxidant Enzymes to Cytokines and Radiation Therapy
… (IL)-2 and IL-12 from mouse models to pet dogs with spontaneously-occurring tumors, including considerations for combining IL-2 and IL-12 with radiation therapy (RT). RT is a promising strategy to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy or vice versa. We explored this combination in …

Isolation and characterisation of canine osteosarcoma cells to investigate mechanisms of chemoresistance
… in humans and is 27 times more prevalent in dogs. Unfortunately, over the past 2 decades, the rate of 5-year survival for metastatic OSA has not improved in humans or dogs. It is thought that this is mainly due to chemoresistance and relapse, and our research group has recently identified …

Investigating the Domestication Syndrome Hypothesis: To What Extent Does Morphology Predict the Behavior and Physiological Stress Response of Dogs and Cattle?
… remains limited, particularly in species such as dogs and cattle. In this dissertation, I examined the Domestication Syndrome Hypothesis in mixed breed pet and shelter dogs as well as Holstein dairy heifers. This investigation focused on behavioral responses, physiological reactivity, and …

Canine scent detection: Lung cancer target acquisition
… acquisition to inform three experiments in which pet dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) were trained to detect the presence of lung cancer in human breath and saliva samples. Operant conditioning processes and an automated apparatus were used to train and test the dogs. Data for all three experiments …

The discovery and characterization of anticancer procaspase activating compounds
… found to be well-tolerated in mice, research dogs, as well as client-owned patient pet dogs with lymphoma. A continuous i.v. S-PAC-1 regimen led to a reduction or stabilization of tumor progression in some of the patient dogs after 4 weeks. PAC-1 has the unique ability to induce a strong …

Mechanical High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (Histotripsy) in Dogs with Spontaneously Occurring Soft Tissue Sarcomas
… sarcomas (STS) are a common form of cancer in dogs with biological behavior similar to STS in humans. Long-term tumor control requires complete removal with extensive surgical resection, which in many cases is not feasible. As a result, there is need for alternative therapies. Objectives: The …
