Rescue dog Louie alerted owner Karen Ethier to a lump which turned out to be aggressive breast cancer.The pooch, who had a leg amputated due to neglect from a previous owner, kept “headbutting and nuzzling” Karen’s chest.She was later diagnosed with stage three triple breast cancer, and underwent intense chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery – which caused hair loss and painful side effects, like blistering skin and nerve damage.Karen, from Cirencester, Gloucestershire, said: “I couldn’t believe it when I found a lump – Louie was trying to warn me the whole time.“Louie is incredibly loyal and he knew when I was feeling down or sick from treatment.”Meanwhile Chico, a 13-year-old Yorkshire terrier, saved his owner’s life by “smelling” the sepsis she developed from third-degree burns after a bad reaction to hair dye.Levi Carter, 23, visited a hair salon to go from brunette to blonde – but after the peroxide bleach was applied, she claims her scalp started to burn and it was “smoking”, before the stylist quickly washed it off.She was treated for third-degree burns, but after returning home from hospital, the pooch wouldn’t leave her alone and refused to settle, sniffing around the wounds on her head.Levi, from Lincolnshire, said: “I only went back into the hospital because my dog wouldn't leave me alone – he must have smelt the infection.“If I left it any longer then who knows what would have happened – I might not be here.
