Queen Camilla has a special place in her life for dogs. A latest reception at Clarence House further proves it.

Scores of life-saving dogs, who are trained to detect deadly diseases through sniffing, made an entry at the royal house.

Enamored by them, the queen, at first, hits back at critics, sharing, "There have been a lot of skeptical people who have been transformed by what they have seen."

"Nature will always lead the way," she adds.

Part of Medical Detection Dogs, the medical mutts put on a jaw-dropping display, showing skillful training.

One of them, Jodie, a golden Labrador, stunned the guests with a shocking live demo.

The super-sniffer, to the surprise of many, correctly detected the bowel cancer samples.

However, Jodie was not only showing remarkable skills in sniffing out life-threatening diseases.

Another canine, named Wolfie, equally put a marvellous display.

He is a key part of his owner, Lucy's, medical life. 

She is diagnosed with postural tachycardia syndrome, a heart condition.

The black Labrador daily alerted her to her condition, which causes fainting and fatigue.

Lucy, from Bristol, told the queen Wolfie had "changed my life."

In response, Camilla agreed, "They are extraordinary the way they change your life."

These dogs, according to the Daily Mail, are trained to detect signs of diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s, COVID-19, malaria, and bacterial infections.
