Ambassador Melanie Kerr joins us fresh from
Dunedin’s K9MD lab, where specially trained dogs are being used
in research to detect cancer via urine samples. We swap the
“fluffy mic” mix-up story for a deep dive on how scent detection
works, why negative results matter as much as positives, and what
a real research session looks like (controlled, peer-reviewed,
and nothing like a pooch sniffing your bits). We talk early
detection, blokes avoiding checkups, and why this world-first
program could one day sit alongside standard bloods—simple,
non-invasive, life-saving. Plus: foster families, doggy buses,
Labrador legend “Hogan,” and a shout to the mates who couldn’t
make the trip. Raw, hopeful, and genuinely inspiring.
