You and your pet won't be seeing the same heart specialist any time soon, but your doctor and Coco's vet might learn a lot if they talked to each other. Tomorrow morning at 9 on the Sound of Ideas, we welcome the co-author of "Zoobiquity," a California cardiologist who says medical doctors can learn a lot from the diseases and maladies experienced by animals. Jaguars get breast cancer. Penguins can suffer from melanoma. What we can learn could help us, and them.
