President Biden is known to be a lover of dogs – but did he
recently give canines more credit than they deserve?

"Dogs may help cure cancer. It’s not a joke," Biden told
reporters Tuesday during a visit to a cancer hospital in Ohio
this week.

"Dogs may help cure cancer. It’s not a joke."

— President Biden

More precisely, dogs have been credited with helping to detect
cancer in humans through their sense of smell, and to alert
patients and medical workers. Early detection of cancer has been
linked to more favorable outcomes for patients.

But whether that equates to helping "cure" cancer is a topic
that drew some Twitter reactions.

'SMALL' CROWD, INCLUDING TRUMP SUPPORTERS, GREETS BIDEN IN OHIO:
REPORT

Some noted that Biden’s seeming overstatement didn’t attract the
same media scrutiny as some past health-related comments made by
former President Trump.

"Remember when every[one] took trump as serious as can be when
he said injecting bleach can cure covid," one Twitter user
wrote. "let’s all have that same energy toward Biden saying dogs
may help cure cancer….some studies suggest they can detect blood
cancer in legs, but that is farrrrrrr from curing joe."

"Trump: light rays may cure viruses. Media: 25th Amendment, he’s
gone mad," another Twitter user wrote. "Biden: dogs can cure
cancer. Media: Fact check TRUE! Hero!"

Another commenter asserted that Biden was relaying old news.

"They’ve been training dogs to smell cancer in people and for
years," user "Zach" wrote. "Read a book."

As Biden continued his comments to reporters at the James Cancer
Hospital at the Ohio State University in Columbus, he spoke
about how dogs detect cancer in humans.

"Dogs are able to … They’re using dogs now … because their
olfactory glands are 400 times what a human is … to smell cancer
in people’s legs and people’s bodies. It’s not a joke. It’s a
fascinating thing," Biden added.

Biden, who lost his son Beau Biden to brain cancer in 2015, has
pledged to make the fight against cancer a key focus of his
administration.

Earlier this month, Biden said he was "optimistic" that
lawmakers from both parties would help make "significant
strides" in advancing cancer research in the years ahead.
