Is there actually anything they can't do?
Golden retrievers are the UK’s favourite dogs What starts off as a tragic statistic could actually end up saving dogs of the future – and their owners. Golden retrievers, the UK’s most popular dog, are very susceptible to cancer – in fact, they have a 65% chance of dying from tumours. But by looking into the cause of this terrible disease, scientists from the University of Carolina think they may have found the key to a long dog life.
‘But if some of them are living to be 14, 15 or 16, we thought there could be another genetic factor that is helping to mitigate the bad genes, and the gene that popped out for us is HER4.’ HER4 is closely related to a human gene well-known for making cancer cells grow quickly – meaning the findings may be important for people too, given they develop many of the same types of cancer as dogs.
