Ovarian Detection Dog, Schatzi, finding ovarian cancer

In this run, Schatzi, our ovarian cancer sniffing dog, is correctly finding the cancer in hole 2. Handler/ dog trainer Dina Zaphiris is calling out what Shatzi did during this run so it can be recorded. She sniffed 5, 4, 3, and alerted on slot 2. Everyone knows where the cancer sample is during this run, because we have not yet entered double blind test runs. This way, we are able to reward the dog in a timely manner. In a few weeks, we will enter into double blind test runs to measure the detection dogs accuracy levels on finding early stage ovarian cancer.
