a dog researchers study because its diseases look suspiciously like yours.
means a dog or dog-derived cell line used to study disease biology or test treatments meant for humans, because canine biology and pathology often mirror ours closely.
from dogs entered biomedical research early because they share our environments, live long enough to develop cancers and heart disease naturally, and their genetics were mapped in detail after the 2005 boxer genome project.
