The birds tweet and fly from tree to tree to guide honey seekers to hidden bee nests, typically inside trees. Then, humans open the trees to find honey, and the birds can dine on beeswax, their favorite food. Dogs have an excellent sense of smell, which is why the folks at Penn Vet Working Dog Center are training dogs to identify the smell of cancer using tissue and blood samples from people who suffer. The scientists hope to develop a way for dogs to screen samples first, then perform follow-up testing on the samples the dogs flagged-a system for spotting cancer in its early stages. Having a snake wrapped around your neck isnt necessarily what you usually expect. But Monty, a 13-year-old snake has been helping customers relax with neck massages (按摩). It’s unlikely he was trained to do the job and is just pulsat- ing like any other snake would when around a persons neck. Regardless, this spe- cial snake books out a few weeks in advance. The Guide Horse Foundation has been training miniature horses (those stand- ing 34 inches or less) as assistance animals for the visually damaged since 1999. Miniature horses are ideal service animals for people who feel uncomfortable with dogs or who want a guide animal with a longer life span. The horses typically live from 30 to 40 years. 21.
