My best friend M just friended this Sheep on Facebook.  His name is Alfie, and he helped diagnose his owner with breast cancer.  Apparently he kept head-butting her in the chest repetitively one day and she developed a large bruise, which turned into a lump.  She (the owner, not the sheep) went in to get the lump examined and they found breast cancer.  To read more about the story, click here: My pet sheep saved my life

You can also friend or fan him on Facebook too, if you are so inclined (just search for Alfie Purl)

Well since most of us don’t have a cancer sniffing sheep, please remember to check yourself or better yet have someone you love check for you!
