Water dog helps medical studies

Scientist explains why it’s a unique breed

Georgie, the namesake of the project, was a water dog belonging to the founder of the research group, George Lark. Twelve years ago, Georgie died of an autoimmune disorder, prompting Lark to look into how heredity contributes to appearance, behavior and overall health of dogs. Now that research is being used to help figure out how to fight certain human diseases.
