Three-year-old whose leukaemia was sniffed out by hero dog Bessie is now in remission


Pippa Woods, from North Yorkshire, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in May after border collie Bessie (left) began to act strangely around her.


The dog refusal to leave her side alerted parents Paula, 38, and Philip, 30, (right) that something was wrong. After taking her to the doctors, the three-year-old was given the shock diagnosis. But various bouts of chemotherapy destroyed the cancer in her blood and allowed her to be given the all-clear. Consultants are happy with her progress and say if things keep going the way they are then she will complete treatment in 2018.
