Because selective breeding has created dogs with limited genetic diversity, scientists are better able to figure out which genes might trigger disease. And since dogs live in exactly the same environments we do—breathing the same air and drinking the same. . .https://www.orvis.com/orvis_assets/corpimg/cancer_03.jpg
