Fear helps keep us safe. So, what exactly is fear? Where does it come from? And what do you do if fear is keeping you from living a full and happy life?

She joins me to explain how dogs can smell cancer and detect seizures and other medical conditions before they occur. By the way, Maria has also written about military dogs and the dogs who work for the Secret Service guarding the president and she has a few really interesting stories to tell about that as well.
