Brenda Jones discovered she had breast cancer thanks to a loyal puppy.

Brenda Jones (47 years old) feels still fine, but her dog Murphy sees something wrong. Murphy behaved strangely a week before jumping up to scratch Brenda's left chest, making her extremely painful.

The dog Murphy saved Mrs. Brenda

Brenda recounted: "Unlike always, at that time, Murphy would jump into his lap, snuggle into my chest and stare at me. A week later, I was sitting on the sofa when Murphy jumped up and scratched his left breast. I was in great pain and seemed to feel the lump in. I thought Murphy could feel my tumor, if it didn't scratch me that day, I wouldn't have discovered my disease. '
