Apologies if repost.
I just missed this programme today and wondered if it might be interesting to others here. Not sure if it's going to be broadcast again.

How much would you trust your dog? That's the question blind BBC Scotland reporter, and guide dog user, Ian Hamilton seeks to answer in the investigation In Dogs We Trust?
Ian discovers the increasingly varied and surprising ways in which people are trusting dogs with their very lives.
The programme highlights the case of the woman with epilepsy who trusts her dog to give her a 10 minute warning from before she has a seizure, something she doesn't even trust fellow humans to do. There is also ten-year-old Steven who has type one diabetes, he gets notice from his dog Molly just before he has a hypo and even brings him his medication.
Ian also explores the frontiers of medical science and whether we could even trust dogs to diagnose illnesses for us and sees how their acute senses are being used in the battle against cancer.

I can't watch it myself as we have the worlds slowest internet connection on my ship.
Several years ago I went to visit my best friend in Crewe, known him 25 years etc. We were sitting down gas-bagging away about bikes and stuff, and he was telling me how his little dog seemed to be sick, or not feeling too good, wouldn't leave his side, kept sitting on his lap and following him around.
Next day I got a phone call from his girlfriend, my mate had died of a massive heart attack that morning while cutting the grass.
