A mum has hailed her dog as her "little lifesaver" after it helped her discover she had breast cancer - by sniffing and pawing at her boob. Trisha Allison, 50, was laying on the couch one morning watching TV when her pet pooch, Luna, jumped on her - catching her right breast in the process.
The two-year-old collie cross then kept sniffing and nudging at her chest, and laying next to her, which Trisha said she never does. After around 45 minutes, Trisha began feeling a pain and went and checked herself out.
She said "something didn't feel right" and went to her GP, who referred her to a hospital where they performed a mammogram and MRI scan. The married mum-of-two then underwent a biopsy and was diagnosed with breast cancer two weeks later on April 18 this year.
