She knew something was wrong when her dog kept sniffing and nudging her breast

A Nottingham 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, from Wilford, was laying on the couch one morning watching TV when her pet pooch, Luna, jumped on her - catching her right breast in the process.

Trisha, a childminder, said if it wasn't for her beloved pet sniffing out the cancer she would not have discovered the lump so early. She added: "If it wasn't for Luna I would not have found it that day. "I think she knew - she's my little lifesaver." Trisha said Luna, a border collie/greyhound cross, isn't usually a cuddly dog so she knew something Tri

Doctors carried out an MRI which showed the lump was cancerous and confirmed a second lump. Trisha was told the cancer had been found early and she's had two operations to remove the tumours. She is now waiting to find out if she will need chemotherapy
