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.
