Peanut Sniffing Dogs Aid The Allergic
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ―
Thousands of young children are allergic, deathly so, to peanuts and foods containing peanuts.
And many of those children end up in emergency rooms every year.

Lisa Sigell reports on the Colorado Springs mom who has come up with a unique program to help all those kids suffering with peanut allergies.
