Dog saves nurse's life after headbutting her in chest at vet's to reveal hidden cancer

A nurse says a dog saved her life after headbutting her in the chest at a vet's. Angie Shaw says the incident helped her discover that she had breast cancer.

She claims that her road to diagnosis began when she was knocked her over and headbutted by a labrador that she was treating. Wales Online reports that that the collision with the animal caused a lump on the nurse's chest.

A week after the headbutting, Angie says the lump was still sore and visited her GP for treatment. A doctor then referred her for scans and biopsies which revealed she had a fast-growing form of breast cancer.
