Cocker Spaniel Training as Gluten-Detection Dog Goes Viral on TikTok

By Erica Rivera

A Cocker Spaniel learning to detect gluten is going viral on TikTok. The pup’s dog mom has celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder in which eating gluten can cause damage to the small intestine, resulting in serious digestive symptoms. She’s teaching the pup to become a gluten-detection dog. The service dog in training (SDiT) is not only incredibly smart, he’s irresistibly cute.
